* **Structural Damage:** Water damage can cause structural damage to your home or business, such as weakened walls, ceilings, and floors.
* **Mold and Mildew:** Water damage can create a breeding ground for mold and mildew, which can cause health problems such as allergies and asthma.
* **Electrical Hazards:** Water damage can damage electrical wiring, which can create a fire hazard.
