Florence Home Flooded by Water Intrusion from Heavy Rains?
4/3/2023 (Permalink)
Our South Eugene and Florence teams witness firsthand how quickly water can damage a home or building. Water is invasive, and the longer the conditions allowing the rainwater to enter a structure remain uncorrected, the greater the chances for more significant damage, resulting in costly and time-consuming repairs. Here is a water damage timeline from our website that describes the damage water can do within minutes and up to one week:
Within Minutes
- Water quickly spreads throughout your property, saturating everything in its path
- Water is absorbed into walls, floors, upholstery, and belongings

- Photographs, books, and other paper goods start to swell and warp
Hours 1 - 24:
- Drywall begins to swell and break down
- Metal surfaces begin to tarnish
- Furniture begins to swell and crack
- Dyes and inks from cloth and paper goods spread and stain
- A musty odor appears
48 Hours to 1 Week:
- Mold and mildew may grow and spread
- Doors, windows, and studs swell and warp
- Metal begins to rust and corrode
