What To Do With Water Damage and Flooding

Here is a classic example of something water restoration companies come across so often: water damage that leads to a severe black mold problem.

The clients move into a new home. Upon moving in, they placed a lot of their boxes in the basement for storage. Eventually and coincidentally after a lot of heavy rain storms, the clients head into the basement only to find that their basement is flooded and their boxes are now sitting and/or floating in water.

 Often, clients will try to deal with flooding on their own. They may mop up the water and do their best to get rid of the flooding. However, clients will often stop there hoping that the area will just naturally dry out. Boxes may be left to try to dry out on their own. Area rugs might be left as well. Meanwhile, water from the initial flood has already seeped into the walls. All three examples can lead to mold infestation.
