Weekend Getaway

These photos are related to a flooded basement in Mason City, IA was the result of several inches of rainfall.    You can see the extent of the water damage, when the home owner returned home from a weekend getaway there was 3-4 inches of standing water with the start of mold growth.  Mold will start growing immediately after spores are attached to an item.  Mold can easily grow within 24 to 48 hours, and will begin to colonize in 1 to 12 days Most times, mold is already a problem before its discovered.  Unfortunately, mold can be found almost anywhere.  Therefore, it is vitally important for homeowners to contact a mold remediation company when they have experienced a flood or fire in their home.
