Mold is a spore that is found both indoors and out. It is microscopic and floats through the air attaching itself to anywhere there is moisture or dampness.
If your home or business should encounter water damage due to a flood or leak, here are some helpful hints to help you avoid additional damage from mold.
• Dry out the infected area as quickly as possible. Be patient, sometimes it takes a while for things to dry out.
• If there is mold present, be sure to use protective equipment such as rubber gloves and masks.
• If mold has infected your sheet rock, carpet and pad, insulation, pressed wood or paper products, it is important to discard these items.
Just remember before replacing or rebuilding, after a flood or any water damaged, wait for all infected areas to be dry.
Mold is something that can quickly affect your home or business. If you find yourself in a position where you are in need of a professional, there are many reputable companies available specifically for disaster cleanup.
Be safe, be ready and be prepared.
