When most think of Las Vegas, the arid climate comes to mind. However, between the sealed-up homes to keep out the heat or the threats of unknown issues like leaks and drips in water lines, moisture damage is more common for properties than it seems. When Vegas property owners face high humidity and moisture concerns, relying on experienced professionals like Absolute Water Restoration is imperative to avoid steep repair and recovery costs by neglecting the issue.  

Moisture Affects Common Building Materials 

Without adequate ventilation, moisture and water damage in Las Vegas homes cannot harmlessly evaporate and dry up. Water works its way into the walls, floors, and ceilings, eventually weakening them over time. Wood, drywall, and concrete are standard building materials that can face severe damage from prolonged moisture exposure.  

• Wood: Susceptible to rot. This effect is caused by the absorbed water, which makes the wood swell, warp, and finally decay. 

• Drywall: Water-soaked drywall crumbles quickly and loses its capacity to carry paint or wallpaper. 

• Concrete: Long-term exposure to moisture weakens concrete surfaces and reduces its life expectancy. 

Other Problems Caused by Lingering Moisture 

Apart from structural damage, moisture invites other problems to set in: 

• Paint and wallpaper peel or bubble. 

• Flooring, such as carpet or laminate, may buckle or become detached. 

• It creates the potential for electrical systems to be damaged by water seeping into wiring or outlets. 

• Mold growth and mildewing on organic materials.
