If you haven't experienced the disaster of water damage for yourself, you might not be aware of the effect — both immediate and lasting — it can have on your house.

Here are a few things to watch out for right after the damage is done:

• Electrical Hazards: When flooding hits home, it hits hard, leaving countless lingering hazards in the aftermath. You'll need to be particularly careful of electrical hazards posed by everything from exposed wires to plugged-in devices.
• Structural Damage: The destruction of property is an obvious result of water damage, but there are more serious, concealed risks as well. If water seeps into the walls, foundation, and other areas that aren't as easy to inspect at a glance, structural damage may occur. Signs include rotting wood and bowing in walls and ceilings, among others, and rectifying these issues as quickly as possible is crucial.
• Health Concerns: Health hazards are another factor you'll want to take care of as soon as possible. Since water damage tends to invade the nooks and crannies of your home, mold and mildew can easily develop. Mold can attach to wood, drywall, cloth, and many other items, so mold remediation is a must in order to avoid major health problems.
