House Flood Problems

After a flood, it is important to begin the cleanup operation as soon as possible.  Water will continue to cause damage for as long as it is allowed to stand.  Left unchecked, it can create problems that are more costly and difficult to correct.

Flood waters can actually warped and crack foundations, and over time water can weaken structural members, making the home hazardous to occupy

In addition, mold can appear within 48 hours of the damage event, spread quickly, and prove extremely difficult to eradicate.  Molds also release toxins into the air which, if inhaled, can produce all manner of health problems, from mild allergic reactions to lung disease and even death.  Mold remediation is best left to a professional.
