The important thing to remember about flood and water damage is as that, as the water subsides, eventually there should be some sort of immediate remediation for whatever is left behind. The removal of any water damage is imperative, more so in the warm months of Georgia because of the formation of many types of mold and mildew that can form. Molds and mildews love warmth and moisture and flourish when both are present they act as a fuel for both. molds will seek out moisture to form new areas of mold infestation.
There are many types of mold that are highly toxic and can cause major health problems that could include respitory and mold sensitivity problems but prolonged exposure can cause neurological issues and other major health issues. Mildew is typically not as bad but will still cause odors and just a general musty smell. Removal of mud and left over water are a given but complete removal of carpet , sheetrock, furniture, and anything that is cellulose or wood based that could house mold and moldew not to mention all the bugs, critters, and possible reptiles that can be present especially during a flood scenario. All wood underneath sheetrock needs to be exposed and treated to make sure mold does not return.
Remediation companies like Safety-Kleen Systems Inc. and SERVPRO, as well as companies that exist on a local level in Georgia, are some of the types businesses that you can call to have homes cleaned and any damage fixed. The recommendation for anyone that uses theses companes is to make sure they have the proper credentials and checking with Georgia’s Better Business Bureau can never hurt.
All in all, water can do alot of damage that you cannot see and needs to be professionally removed. Because Georgia has many waterways to include lakes, rivers and creeks, not to mention a stretch of coastline, there is always the threat of flooding due to heavy rains by thunderstorms, tropical storms, or hurricanes.
