As soon as you see water or water damage — call!

Standing water is a breeding ground for microorganisms. Bacteria, viruses, and mold can easily become airborne and be inhaled. That puts people at serious risk for allergic reactions, lung disease and many other health-related issues.

After a flood or water damage, cleaning up and drying the structure — fast — is imperative. Areas with a high level humidity and moist materials can begin to grow toxic mold in as little as 72 hours!

Air cleaning devices can help remove some indoor air pollution, but won't solve the problems alone. Cleaning up the water, the contaminants, and the damaged furnishings and material are essential steps and nothing can substitute for them. Avoid using air cleaning devices that emit ozone. Ozone has not been found to clean indoor air, including mold problems. Ozone can harm lung health, especially for children, the elderly, and people with asthma and chronic lung diseases.
