Flooding Causes Mold Damage

Because it might be a while before help arrives to assist you with taking care of flood damage and the mold that can result, business owners should know what steps to take to mitigate damage and risk. One of the first is to shut off the electricity to prevent accidental shocks and injuries. All valuable items and equipment should be moved to a safe, dry space, and standing water should be cleared out as much as possible to further prevent the growth and spread of mold. Finally, it’s a good idea to take pictures of the resulting damage. Insurance companies will need such evidence when it’s time to file a claim.

Keeping mold growth and the spread of bacteria at bay is much easier when you have the right information. Be sure to put the above tips to good use if your commercial building has standing water due to recent flooding.
