WATER DAMAGE - FIRE DAMAGE - STORM DAMAGE - MOLD TESTING  

During a water damage 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 damage 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 water damage. We offer water damage services.

Avoid Problems from MOLD DAMAGE
Remove, Clean up Standing Water and water damage!

Water damage is a breeding ground for microorganisms, which can become airborne and be inhaled. Where flood water contains sewage or decaying animal carcasses, infectious disease is of concern. Even when flooding is due to rainwater, the growth of microorganisms can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. For these health reasons, and to lessen structural damage, all standing water and water damage should be removed as quickly as possible

Dry Out & Cleanup Your water damaged Home!!

Excess moisture in the home is an indoor air quality concern for three reasons:

• Microorganisms brought into the home during water damage may present a health hazard. These organisms can penetrate deep into soaked, porous materials and later be released into air or water. Coming in contact with air or water damage that contains these organisms can make you sick.

• High humidity and moist materials provide ideal environments for the excessive growth of microorganisms that are always present in the home. This may result in additional health concerns such as allergic reactions.

• Long-term increases in humidity in the home can also foster the growth of dust mites. Dust mites are a major cause of allergic reactions and asthma. You may have to remove any water damage walls, and floors in the home.

Be patient. The drying out and water damage process could take several days, and growth of microorganisms will continue as long as humidity is high. If the house is not dried out properly, a musty odor, signifying growth of microorganisms can remain long after the water damage.

Removal of Water Damaged Materials

It can be difficult to throw away items in a home, particularly those with sentimental value. However, keeping certain items that were soaked by water damage may be unhealthy. Some materials tend to absorb and keep water damage more than others. In general, materials that are wet and cannot be thoroughly cleaned and dried within 24-48 hours should be discarded, as they can remain a source of mold growth.
