Don't Let That Water Damage Turn To Mold
1/28/2022 (Permalink)
It takes no more than 48 hours after water damage occurs for mold to begin to grow. This is why dealing with a leak or flood in your home in a timely manner is so critical. We pride ourselves in our rapid response time and treat a loss in every home as if it were our own. However, some water damage cannot be seen right away and growth is inevitable.
Got Mold?
If you encounter a mold problem evaluate the size of the problem. The Environmental Protection Agency suggests if the affected area is larger than 10 square feet, it is best to bring in professionals.
Be sure that the company you bring in are highly trained and certified in the following areas:
- Applied microbial remediation
- Water damage restoration
- Applied structural drying
Sometimes, minor mold issues can be successfully resolved by a homeowner on their own, but it is always in your best interest to talk to the professionals to ensure the safest resolution to the problem.
