Health Hazards of Mould Growth After Water Damage

Mould grows in moist wet environments, so if you have had flooded carpet or other water damage in your home it is important to have it professionally restored so that mould does not become a health risk to you and your family.

The longer your home is saturated in water or is flooded the more likely mould and other organisms will start to manifest and grow. Mould travels in moisture and can move across your home affecting wider spaces than those initially water damaged. Mould exposure is a common aggravator of allergies and asthma particularly in young children, the elderly and anyone with a weak immune system. Exposure could also increase your risk of  other respiratory diseases and other medical problems.
