Natural disasters such hurricanes and tropical storms cause massive damage all around the world every year. Unfortunately the damage does not stop when the water subsides. After the devastating hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the CDC reported 46% of homes had visible mold growth in them. Mold spores can grow as fast as 24 to 48 hours after exposure to water.
It is imperative after major flooding of a home or any of our property that necessary steps be taken to dry the moisture exposed area. There are many means in which to do this, the most common being the use of a water pump and dehumidifiers combined. Ventilation and exposure to fresh moving air can prove to be a very useful tool in drying out your home or property. Removal of mud, dirt and debris is very necessary as well due to the fact that mold feeds off of organic material and any debris would speed up the process of mold growth. This process must be done not only for the health of the people and pets but also to stop damage to your home and or property.
If left alone especially in high moisture areas mold spores that travel through the air and deposit on most surfaces can devastate a home, recreation vehicles, automobiles, surrounding structures, businesses and even the outdoor environment we are accustomed to living in. Not only can storms cause initial damage, but the devastation continues with the after effects of mold growth.
