In the Wake of Flooding: A Hidden Threat
Mold becomes a significant and often hidden threat to both health and property. Within just 24 to 48 hours of water exposure, mold can begin to spread, infiltrating porous materials and hidden areas in homes and buildings. Left unchecked, this growth can lead to serious respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and even cognitive impairments, particularly for vulnerable populations. Additionally, mold can compromise the structural integrity of a building, leading to costly repairs. Understanding these risks underscores the importance of professional water damage restoration services to prevent further damage and ensure thorough drying and dehumidification.
