When a water damage affects your home or business, there are obvious issues that need to be addressed.  These include soaked floors, damaged possessions, waterlogged walls, and discoloration. But there are other conditions that may occur that can present health risks when flooding occurs.  SERVPRO of Trumbull, Monroe & Northern Bridgeport addresses these issues so that you return to a safe environment when remediation is finished.

Often overlooked is the potential for health hazards that a water damage can bring. Depending on the origin of the water, it can bring unwanted bacteria and germs with it.  These conditions can contribute to the growth and transmission of many kinds of fungi and bacteria, some of which can cause illness. Inhabitants are at increased risk of exposure to airborne particles that can cause adverse respiratory issues. Also, mold may begin to grow in as little as 24 hours of the initial damage.

Other conditions that could present health risk are broken glass, spilled chemicals, and electrical shock due to water coming into contact with live power sources.  All of these are reasons why, in the event of flooding in your home or business, you should use extreme caution, and call a professional remediation company immediately.
