What To Do After Your Home Gets Water Damage From a Natural Disaster

Weather can be unpredictable and perhaps no other element on the planet is as destructive as water. Glaciers have carved entire mountain ranges, washed away towns, and even chisels away at the strongest of metals and stone that humans have built over the centuries. Water is essential to life on our planet, not only for people and animals but also for other organisms. Fungus, mold, and other lifeforms rely on water to reproduce and thrive, which makes any type of water damage--from a flood to a leaky tap--that much worse than you could have suspected.

Benefits of This Service

BioClean mold remediation removes excess water, dries out the area entirely, and then cleans damaged surfaces. Materials such as carpet, wood flooring, wall board, and just about any other organic material can be a food source as well as a breeding ground for mold spores. When these mold colonies are active, they can produce harmful toxins in the form of spores or other secretions that are sometimes dangerous to people. BioClean removes this threat to your living environment, making it safe and comfortable again.

What Is Black Mold?

Black mold is one broad category of molds that have been shown to have adverse effects on people and animals. Mold can come in all sorts of colors, and many resemble each other. Through proper testing we can determine which molds you are up against.

Is This Process Necessary?

Typically a trigger for asthma, large colonies of mold can create health problems, as well as destroy the substances they have colonized, either with an odor or breaking down the surface itself. In this damage, spores can wait for years for more moisture to wake them up and get them growing again.

Why Can't I Just Do It Myself?

Proper cleaning not only prevents the mold from spreading but also removes it entirely, preventing future outbreaks if flooding happens again. To do this, specialized training and chemicals are used which are not only unavailable to private citizens but may be dangerous if used improperly--not only to your property, but to your health and safety.

When To Hire a Professional

If you have had flooding, no matter how big or small, you could be sitting on a major problem and not even know it. Outside of typical spills, something as basic as a dripping pipe, leaky roof, or a flooded basement should warrant an inspection from a professional.
