Is Standing Water Dangerous in a Home?

Yes. For several reasons.

Health risks:

  • Bacteria
  • Mold growth
  • Air quality issues

Structural risks:

  • Warped flooring
  • Weakened walls
  • Electrical hazards

Even clean water becomes unsafe if it sits too long.

If water has been standing for more than 24 hours, professional removal is strongly recommended.
