Water damage is progressive and items that could be restored within the first 48 hours of water damage may not be restored if emergency response is delayed. Although we know you might be tempted to clean up yourself or call a company that only has equipment to dry/clean carpets, you should consider that water will wick up 
walls and travel under base moldings and sill plates. It will penetrate through floor coverings into sub-floors, even causing water damage in the rooms below.

Mold Spores can grow on almost any substance such as wood, carpet, paper and/or insulation, as long as moisture and oxygen are present mold will grow. Mold reproduces by releasing tiny partials called spores which are invisible to the eye. When mold does land on a moist surface or moist area they can begin to grow. Living in South Florida, there has been a
growing concern for mold since the public has become more aware that exposure to mold can cause a variety of health issues and symptoms.
Simply killing the mold with a biocide is not enough. The mold must be removed since the chemicals and proteins, which cause a reaction in humans, are still present even in dead mold. When removing mold and fungal growth all areas are contained to avoid cross contamination, all
mold remediation technicians use protective gear, and the proper equipment is used and set up such as HEPA Vacuum, dehumidifiers, and air scrubbers to dry the air and remove airborne mold spores.
It is always important that if there is visible mold larger than 10 sq. ft. it is required that the effected area be tested by a certified hygienist. The hygienist will take surface and air samples to be sent to a lab for results to verify which type of mold exists and if there might be mold in other surrounded areas that are not visible.
After which the hygienist will submit his results along with a protocol report in which our mold technician will follow when removing/remediating the mold accurately.
Once the mold removal/remediation is complete, the hygienist will re-test the affected areas for clearance of the mold and provide a “Clearance Certificate” at that time your reconstruction process is ready to begin.
MOISTURE DETECTION
After a flood or any type of water damage it is always crucial to detect any moisture that might exist in the air or surface. Moisture meters are always used to properly assess all water damaged areas making sure the proper dry out is in place in preventing the growth of any mold or additional structural damage. We use a U.L.V fogging machine that releases a chemical fine mist into the air along with the set up of dehumidifiers and blowers. This procedure ensures proper dry-out of the area in order to prevent additional damage such as mold spore growth.
