Mold Problems
If your home or other real estate suffers a fire, flood, or other water damage, and if any of your home or building's materials have been soaked wet for more than 24 hours, mold can, and usually does, begin growing. After just 48 hours of wetness, the deadly toxic mold Stachybotrys can begin growing in the damaged areas.
After a fire, flood, or other water damage, you need to dry the damaged area immediately and completely to minimize the possibilities of mold growth.
In addition, as part of the fire restoration, flood restoration, or water damage restoration process, both the damaged area and the air of the damaged rooms need to be inspected and tested for elevated levels of mold prior to and after fire, flood, & water damage repairs. |
