Maintenance techniques:
Coming across a wet, moist scene can be alarming. One might feel the need to begin cleaning up immediately. While this is completely natural and rational, wisely consider contacting a water damage specialist as soon as possible. This is always the safest option. Water damage is unpredictable simply because there can be so many hidden factors. One of the biggest factors is mold.
What is mold?
Mold is a type of fungi that feeds off of its surroundings. Indoor mold typically feeds off moist or damp matter, such as walls and ceilings that have been exposed to water. Mold is constantly emitting spores. Spores are bits of mold that float around in the air waiting to find something to feed on. They are a survival mechanism the main body of mold uses to keep up with the life cycle. In a home, these spores can become thick in the air and cause potentially serious health problems to unsuspecting families. This is just one reason it is critical to receive professional help when dealing with a water damage emergency.
Professionals have the equipment necessary for a safe and reliable cleanup process. They have been specially trained to clean and treat water damaged items and structures, quickly, safely, and efficiently.
