In the aftermath of a flood, you still have mold to deal with.
When a flood breaks out and your home is affected, it’s hard to see past the inches of water and start to think about rebuilding. Unfortunately, this is exactly what you must do if you want to prevent mold growth. Floods and mold go together like a really unpleasant version of peanut butter and jelly, and it’s important that you correctly address the problem so that you don’t end up with a worse one. Flood damage restoration and mold remediation always go hand-in-hand, and Environmental Consulting and Contracting group can help you with both.
Flood Aftermath
A great deal of floods are caused by good old Mother Nature and her unpredictable weather patterns, but plenty of others are a result of things like sewage back ups. What’s important is to determine the source of the water, so you know the risks associated with cleanup. Both floodwaters and sewage can be extremely dangerous, as they are often contaminated or filled with floating debris. Even if the water isn’t contaminated, there is always the risk of running into submerged circuitry that could lead to dangerous electricity.
With all of these obstacles, it’s easy to see how people put off dealing with flood damage restoration, but this can be to their detriment. After a flood occurs, you only have about 72 hours until mold growth can begin. Mold that occurs as a result of flooding is especially problematic because there is often a huge portion of your home that becomes susceptible. Post-flood mold remediation is often a major project, and both the Environmental Protection Agency and the Centers for Disease Control recommend that you enlist the help of a professional.
