Flood Clean up

5/11/2018 (Permalink)

The faster the clean up after a flood, the less Mold will grow.

During a flood cleanup, the indoor air quality in your home or office may appear to be the least of your problems. However, failure to remove contaminated materials and to reduce moisture and humidity can present serious long-term health risks. Standing water and wet materials are a breeding ground for microorganisms, such as viruses, bacteria, and mold. They can cause disease, trigger allergic reactions, and continue to damage materials long after the flood.

Make sure that your sump pump is in working order. Do you have a dehumidifier? Keeping it up and running helps to reduce moisture.
