If you are a homeowner, than you have
dealt with some type of flooding and if you have not, there is a good
chance you will sometime in the future. Water damage in the home can
come from clogged pipes, broken hoses on a dishwasher or washing
machines, and flooding from heavy rains just to name a few.
The removal of the water as soon as
possible will reduce the amount of water damaged caused and will keep
the expense to a minimum. Once the waters removed, you can begin to
dry the flooded area using air dryers, fans, and dehumidifiers. The
amount of water damage will depend on the amount of floodwaters and
the amount of time the water has been sitting in the home. When water
has been stagnant for many days, water damage and mold damage will be
at its worst. Walls will be water damaged and contain enough molds to
the point they will have to be removed to correct the problem and
ensure the entire amount mold is removed.
In the case of floodwaters from heavy
rains, calling a professional is the best route to take. Floodwater
from rivers and streams may contain sewage water, which is referred
to as black water and is very hazardous; it will also accelerate mold
growth and will cause extensive water damage to the home. If you are
