Dealing with Flood Damage in San Mateo
Flood damage in San Mateo is no laughing matter. Your business is losing money each day that it isn't up and running. You may still be paying your employees for work they are unable to perform because they can't enter an unstable and potentially unsafe building. If the flood damage occurred to your home, you and your family are likewise experiencing the discomfort and expense of having to stay elsewhere. For these reasons, it's best to immediately call a local cleanup service that can restore your property back to its original condition.

What comes after Water Damage? Mold

What is Toxic Mold?

While mold exists everywhere, it sometimes takes on a dangerous form. The scientific name for the greenish-black mold that turns up on the carpet, wallpaper, ceiling tiles, and even wet leaves is Stachybotrys Chart arum or Black Mold. It produces a mycotoxin.

Microscopic mold spores naturally occur almost everywhere, both outdoors and indoors. This makes it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Therefore, mold remediation reduces the mold spore count back to its natural or baseline level. Some restoration businesses advertise mold removal and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy.

Where Can Mold Turn Up?

Mold can be found in many areas of your home: Attic, Bathrooms, Basement, Bedrooms, Kitchen, Living Room, Garage, and Carpets & Hardwoods.
