Mold Monster in Your Basement? Not Today! Flood Recovery Tips

Jul 30, 2024

2 min read

Picture this: Your basement's flooded, the water's gone, and you're thinking, "Phew, dodged a bullet!" Not so fast! If you don't act quickly, you might be welcoming a new, unwelcome guest: Mold. This nasty fungus loves damp places and can start growing within 24-48 hours after a flood, wreaking havoc on your health and home.




Here's your action plan to kick mold to the curb:


1. Time is of the Essence:

  • Mold is like that annoying houseguest who overstays their welcome. Every minute counts after a flood. Grab a pump, wet vac, or even buckets to get that water out ASAP!

  • Remember safety first: Turn off electricity to the basement before you wade in.

2. Dry It Up, Air It Out:


3. Disinfect and Conquer:


4. Inspect and Protect:

  • Once everything's dry, check for any damage. Leaky pipes? Cracks in the foundation? Fix them now to prevent future floods and mold invasions.

  • Consider waterproofing your basement to give mold the ultimate "Not Welcome" sign.
