Harvey Mold Part II

Mold mitigation is sometimes a necessary step after the moisture is gone

The first thing you need to do is try and handle the job as a water restoration job if your house floods. The reason for this is you may be able to nip it in the bud if you get the moisture out of your house. Call your insurance agent and tell them what has happened and they will recommend a restoration company to you to use. At this point they will spray your house down with anti-microbial and dry your house out. If mold is still a problem at this point then you now must handle the mold inside of your house. So as of right now you have had your house treated for moisture, which means the affected porous materials have been removed and your house has been sanitized and dried. The problem is you still have visible mold.
