Cleaning Your House after Flood Water Damage

When left untreated for a long time, water can cause serious damage to your home and to your family’s health. Immediate action is crucial to help minimize the damage and somehow save a few of your valuable possessions. Your carpet and some electronics that are greatly hit by water are probably ruined and not useful anymore. Never treat flood water in your house lightly. It can start the growth of mold.

Mold growth inside your home not only ruin your furniture, walls, carpet, and other things inside your home, it can also affect your indoor air quality causing health problems, including asthma and other severe illness. One great way to keep your home safe and healthy for your family is to prevent mold growth.

• Shut down your main power source immediately.
• When removing items, always remember to move all electronic ones first.
• Remove your carpets and place them where they can dry.
• Get rid of water. Use buckets, old towels, and others things to help soak up as much water as possible.
• Once you’ve soaked up the water from an affected area, use fans to dry out the area.
• Use a disinfectant to get rid of any bacteria.
