Water damage paves the way for toxic mold to grow and accumulate. Mold can be found in damp and moist areas throughout your house, where the temperature and atmosphere are nothing but perfect. Once the water damage sinks into your wooden floors or basement walls, it can easily allow mold to breed and form into a more lethal toxin, which is known as black mold. Black mold can cause severe health problems, including severe eye infections, coughing, respiratory issues, and even death. It’s absolutely urgent that you take extra measures to remove all mold from your house. You should always contact a professional mold remediation and water restoration company right away.
Once you’ve contacted a professional water restoration company, you need to open your doors and windows so that fresh air can enter your house. The moist condition on which the mold lives will be greatly reduced, and it always pays to be safe. Repair any water leaks in the roof, walls or basement. Caulk your shower or any place where moisture could get behind walls or in floors. Seal your basement with a deep penetrating concrete sealer.
You can also dry up all the household blankets and carpets with dehumidifiers. Areas of leakage and water damage in the house should be cleaned and dried within 24-48 hours, to prevent the buildup of mold. The key to reducing mold is to control the level of moisture in your home. Keep in mind that mold breeds in areas that are damp, moist, humid and wet. It’s extremely important that you contact a professional if you notice any signs of black mold.
