FLOOD DAMAGE RESTORATION
There are many causes for Flood damage to occur in
your home. Sometimes it's a natural disaster like a
hurricane or torrential downpour, other times you may
have a leaky pipe, a faulty hot water heater, an
overflowing toilet, a leaky roof or more. Flood damage
can ruin your carpets, floors, ceilings and walls.
In addition, flood damage is the most common cause of
mold damage to homes. Buildings that have been heavily
damaged by flood waters should be properly addressed
within the first 24-48 hours after the damage and
remediated by experienced professionals. It is critical
that all porous building materials that sustain water
damage be removed and disposed of within the above time
frame to avoid mold to begin forming.
Mold will begin to form just 24-48 hours
after water damage occurs
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 building materials and contents are a breeding
ground for microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria and
mold. They can cause disease, trigger allergic reactions
and continue to damage the building long after the
flooding is gone.
Experienced flood restoration companies know it is
critical to remove, not clean or dry down wet sheetrock,
carpeting and paneling during the flood restoration
process. They will use tools such as dehumidifiers to
remove high humidity and moisture meters to determine
whether or not building materials can be salvaged and
dried down or whether they need to be removed and
disposed of.
Flooding is not a time to mess around. There is only
a small window of time to dry everything down before
mold begins to form. If you experience a flood, don't
wait! Immediately call Certified Mold Professionals. If you
don't, you may have a much larger problem to deal with!
