KNOWLEDGE CENTER: WATER DAMAGE AND YOUR HOME
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, "during a flood cleanup, the indoor air quality in your home or office may appear to be the least of your problems. However, failure to remove contaminated materials and to reduce moisture and humidity can present serious long-term health risks. Standing water and wet materials are a breeding ground for microorganisms, such as viruses, bacteria, and mold. They can cause disease, trigger allergic reactions, and continue to damage materials long after the flood."
The Environmental Protection Agency provides valuble information regarding water damage and your home. In our Water Damage 101 section below, we've provided several EPA publicationsavailable for download. These guides help to answer common questions and to provide guidance when dealing with a water disaster.
