One of the biggest dangers after a flood in a home or business is mold growth and migration. A flood doesn’t have to be huge in order to cause mold growth. In fact, just a leaky pipe or a drainage problem in plumbing or an HVAC system can cause mold to grow. All mold needs to take root in a home or office building is moisture and humidity. That’s why mold is such an insidious problem. It affects hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses every year. If you have had a leak, a flood, or even just a drainage issue you need to get experienced technicians like Restoration Genius into your building immediately to stop mold migration and get rid of that mold before it become a huge problem.
Acting Fast is the Best Way to Prevent Mold Migration
Mold can start growing in as little as 24 hours after water leakage or a flood. You may not see it but it’s there and it’s spreading. Using fans can spread the mole throughout the building and cause massive widespread mold infection throughout the building. Quick remediation of all water and humidity is the only way to protect your home or building from mold damage.
Mold Causes Serious Health Problems
People who are exposed to mold can develop serious breathing problems and other health problems. If you have children, elderly people, or people with medical conditions who work in the building or live in the home the mold can affect them even more than other people. Asthma and chronic respiratory illness is common after exposure to mold. Restoration Genius can get into your home or building fast and fix the conditions that cause mold growth to protect your family and your employees.
What To Do After a Water Leak or Flood to Prevent Mold
As soon as you notice the leak or flood turn off any fans and your HVAC system. Both can spread mold and bacteria. Get your family or your employees out of the building and call the experienced pros at Restoration Genius. We can bring in dehumidifiers and other equipment that will safely dry out your home and stop the growth of any mold.
