Removal Of Wet Damaged Materials
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
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 water is gone. It can be difficult to throw
away items in a home, particularly those with sentimental value, however
keeping certain items that were soaked by water damage may be unhealthy.
Some materials tend to absorb and hold water more than others. In
general, materials that are wet and cannot be thoroughly cleaned and
dried within 24-48 hours should be discarded as they can become a source
of microbial growth. Microorganisms brought into the home during
flooding may present a health hazard. These organisms can penetrate deep
into soaked, porous materials and later be released into air or water.
Coming into contact with air or water that contain these organisms can
make you sick.
High humidity and moist materials provide ideal environments for the
excessive growth of microorganisms that are always present in your home
and may result in additional health concerns such as allergic reactions.
Long term increases in humidity in your home can also foster the growth
of MOLD. Mold is a major cause of allergic reactions and asthma.
You may have to remove walls and floors in your home. The drying out
process could take several days and growth of microorganisms will
continue as long as humidity is high. If the house is not dried out
properly a musty odor signifying growth of microorganisms can remain
long after the flood. BE PATIENT! Your home will be back to normal as
quickly as possible.
