Storm/Water Damage and Microbial Growth

The recent storms have resulted in significant water damage to many residences, commercial and industrial structures. Water damage must be dealt with soonest to prevent microbial growth from causing further issues. Drying out a structure isn't as simple as placing a blower motor and running a number of hours. It is much more scientific than that. Moisture meters must be used to evaluate the drying process and the circulated air must be heated to drive out the moisture. These techniques were used during Sandy and helped many building owners and property owners recover quickly. On the other hand, some of the damage was so extensive that no amount of drying would prevent the removed and replacement of the water damaged building materials.

When flooding occurs, there may be sewage in the surface water. This creates a more hazardous problem when trying to return occupants to their home or business. Air and surface testing are needed after crews remediate the structure. Only testing by a qualified individual or firm can provide the satisfaction the job was done right. The same applies to building contractors crossing over into the remediation world for business without any knowledge or forethought about the problem. Water and sewage damage requires professionals who understand the issues and protect their customers from poor workmanship.
