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.
