Remodeling Removes Mold & Mildew
8/2/2020 (Permalink)
One of the most dangerous aspects of water damage is the resulting mildew and mold that builds up, grows, and then spreads if not removed. Mold in particular can be very damaging to your house. If left unaddressed, mold causes structural damage to your home which can spread and create even worse problems in the future.
Insects and other pests love damp, dark places. A flooded kitchen provides these creatures the perfect place to hunker down and multiply. Pests like termites eat away the wood in your home, while spiders and other venomous pests can easily come into contact with family, friends, and pets in your home. Spiders are never a welcome pest, especially when they are venomous and their bite can cause serious infections. When you remodel your kitchen after flood damage, the contractors will aid in removing any pests that may have taken up refuge in these dark, wet spaces.
