Emergency Water Restoration: Why 24/7 Availability Matters for Homeowners
When a water emergency strikes, every second counts. Whether caused by a burst pipe, an overflowing appliance, severe weather, or a hidden leak that suddenly worsens, water damage can escalate quickly. What starts as a small puddle can rapidly soak into flooring, walls, and personal belongings—leading to structural problems, mold growth, and costly repairs. That’s why having access to emergency water restoration 24 hours a day, 7 days a week isn’t just convenient—it’s essential.
Water-related emergencies are unpredictable. Because water spreads so quickly, waiting until the next day—or even a few hours—can dramatically worsen the situation.
24/7 availability ensures that trained professionals can respond immediately, minimizing:
- Structural damage
- Warping and buckling of floors
- Saturation of drywall and insulation
- Damage to electrical systems
- Mold and mildew growth
- Replacement costs for belongings and furniture
When Simmons Builders arrive on the scene, we focus first on stopping the source of water, extracting standing water, and beginning the drying process—all crucial steps that reduce long-term damage.
Preventing Mold
In DeRidder, LA’s humid climate, mold can begin forming within 24 to 48 hours after moisture exposure. That’s why time is your biggest ally in preventing fungal growth. Mold remediation is far more extensive and expensive than basic water extraction, so rapid response is vital.
Our team uses industrial-grade dehumidifiers, moisture meters, and cutting-edge drying techniques to eliminate the damp conditions that mold needs to thrive. With two decades of experience in Louisiana, we understand local weather patterns and the unique moisture challenges they bring.
