Water Damage Repair Mold Removal Sierra Vista @
waterdamagerepairmoldremovalsierravista.comIf you are a victim of a flood, it can feel like your
life has been turned completely upside down. It does not matter if it comes from an overflowing
river, a plugged up sink, a burst pipe or a backed up sewer or septic line, the results are
devastating and flood cleanup in Sierra Vista can seem like a daunting undertaking. What isn’t
always as obvious is the potential dangers involved in flood cleanup in Sierra Vista.
The first concern is the water itself.
Flood cleanup in Sierra Vista or anywhere else can be daunting.
Even if the initial source is clean water, if it came from a burst pipe or a clogged sink for
instance, any standing water may become contaminated with chemicals, disease or other
contaminates. In a case of a backed up sewer or septic line, the water is going to be
contaminated with a wide array of dangerous contamination including disease, harmful
chemicals, bacteria and even human waste.
The Center for Disease Control lists a number of dangerous and even potentially lethal
waterborne diseases on their website and states that “waterborne diseases are caused by
pathogenic microbes that can be directly spread through contaminated water”. It is of the
upmost importance that proper precautions are taken when dealing with the removal of flood
water.
Flood cleanup in Sierra Vista needs to be done as soon as possible. Sitting water will soak into
anything it’s in contact with and will cause damage to flooring materials, subflooring, drywall,
support beams and just about anything else. Prolonged exposure to the water can cause
permanent damage and even threaten structural integrity of the property.
Besides the amount of damage done by standing water, the other reason that flood cleanup in
Sierra Vista needs to be done quickly is the risk of mold contamination. Mold can begin to grow
in as little as 14 to 48 hours and will release harmful and dangerous spores into the air. For
more information on mold, refer to the Environmental Protection Agency’s mold resources page.
Even when all standing flood water has been removed, there is still a high potential for mold

that had been in contact with the flood water. This process often requires the use of specialized
equipment.
In order to make sure that proper safety measures are taken and water removal and dry out are
done correctly it’s always best to contact a trained and certified flood cleanup professional. A
company specializing in water damage remediation will be able to safely remove all the water,
clean the area of all potentially harmful contaminates and properly dry it to prevent mold growth.
