IMMEDIATE ACTION
FOR FIRST TIME FLOODS
A QUICK RESPONSE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITHIN 72 HOURS MOLD AND MILDEW CAN START GROWING
Bacteria can start growing in as little as 72 hours. With a hot water or copper line burst, mildew can begin growing in a matter of hours.
When this happens, you can pressure wash the mildew off — but if it’s left untreated, you’ll likely need a full mold abatement.
Renting drying equipment can help slow down mold growth, but calling an experienced mold and water damage expert can make a real difference.

Stop mold bacteria growth — it can save you headaches and money
Waiting can increase your bill by hundreds or even thousands of dollars, so it’s worth considering your next move right away. Immediate response is the best answer to a serious water damage  problem.
Good advice is to immediately call an expert and shut off your main water line to stop the flooding. You can usually find the shutoff valve near your water spigot at the front of your house, or near the faucet for your outside hose (though not always). If you can’t find it, call your plumber or the water company — they can turn it off for you. Don’t hesitate; every moment can cost you more money.
THE LONGER IT SITS THE WORSE IT GETS BACTERIA START TO GROW
Interior walls start to collapse, ceilings falling in, counters and cabinets are damaged, and bad odors occur. Some people have allergic reactions and end up leaving their home until the repairs are done. This can all be avoided with a quick response.
PREVENTING CROSS CONTAMINATION: THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT PROCESS
During a mold abatement, many people try to help speed up the process, not knowing they are moving mold into other parts of the home. It’s best to let the abatement team clean and bag everything before moving to another area, to stop cross contaminating.
PUTTING UP CONTAINMENT BARRIERS IS ANOTHER PROCESS
To prevent cross contamination when removing walls or cabinets, mold spores and other types of bacteria can float around and affect people in a harmful way if they are allergic to it. Containment barriers keep mold spores from spreading to other parts of the home.
So Our Containment Barriers Stop Them From Traveling To Other Areas Of The Property. We Also Use Negative Air Scrubbers to Collect Moving Mold Spores, Our Scrubbers Circulate And Collect Bacteria And Mold Spores To Clean Up The Air. We Also Set Up Dehumidifiers To Dry The Structures. These Machines Working Together Accomplish The Task.
