What Secondary Damage can occur after Storm Damage?

After a storm, flooding or water event affects your property, mold is the most likely secondary damage. Damp conditions provide an ideal environment for the growth of mold spores contaminating the air you breathe and your home or business. 

If not properly dried and treated a mold infestation can quickly arise and spread throughout a home or business in 48-72 hours. Mold can develop from the moisture left on affected surfaces and items such as: wood, tile, carpeting, windows, concrete, and/or other materials/items.
