Floods Can Bring Mold



If you have a flood, remember that all types of mold can be very aggressive and if left untreated, black mold will become difficult to remove from your dwelling or work place!

All mold is a serious threat when it gets inside your home and it must be prevented or handled by the professionals at Restoration 1.

When you need a water damage specialist, call Restoration 1 Germantown today for quick service.

Causes & Risks of Mold

Mold grows best in moist, warm, and dark, enclosed places. In your walls, in your closets, and behind your fridge or other appliances are all prime locations for mold growth.

Any kind of moisture or standing water such as flood damage, burst pipes, or perhaps appliance failures can trigger serious mold growth.

Ingesting mold spores can be extremely dangerous and will cause respiratory symptoms that are difficult to deal with so be careful and keep our number handy.

        These symptoms include:

• Skin irritation and rashes anywhere on your body
• Watery, burning or itchy eyes
• High fever and body aches
• Difficulty breathing and stuffy nose
• Coughing and sore throat

What is Black Mold

Black Mold, or Stachybotrys chartarum, is the most dangerous type of mold and is toxic to us all. People with existing respiratory  issues should never be near any kind of mold, especially black mold.

There is a high probability that mold can cause health consequences for those with immune deficiencies or chronic bronchitis that can even lead to death.

If you inhale mold spores, you may develop a difficulty in breathing, chronic coughing, persistent headaches, fevers, body aches, and more.

Black mold needs to be treated and completely removed if your home or business becomes infested.

If you need information about the type of mold you found in your home, Call Restoration 1 Germantown and the technicians will assist you.
