This is why homeowners must act fast and have their homes dried as soon as possible.

In these situations, it’s likely that mold will already be present and potentially growing in several different parts of the home.</div>

If you’ve had water that has been in your home for more than a few days, mold has likely started growing. It’s easy to identify this by looking for fuzzy black or brown dots on your floors, walls, or even furniture. However, mold can also be hidden underneath floorboards, behind walls, and on top of the ceiling, making it difficult to spot. This is why mold removal is crucial if you’ve recently had any degree of water damage in your home.</div>

These are the qualities that make a recently flooded home, which is filled with standing water, the perfect grounds for mold growth. Unfortunately, this is also why mold can grow just about anywhere in your home that water has touched. This includes basements, attics, and other hidden and difficult-to-reach spaces. Mold can even grow on the foundation of your home if water has flooded outside and seeped into the ground around the base of your house.</div>

When mold grows inside of a home with water damage, it will destroy drywall, wood, and any other materials that it’s growing on. If it’s not taken care of, mold will continue to destroy these materials and eventually weaken the structure of a home. Making mold even more dangerous is the fact that it can negatively impact the health of your family by causing mold asthma and other allergic reactions. Breathing in the spores of mold will continue to worsen your health over time, which is why we never recommend living in a home with active mold growth.</div>

<span id="lwptoc5" style="border: 0px none; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Bleach vs Vinegar to Kill Mold</span></h3>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #626262; font-family: Poppins, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 15px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
When it comes to killing mold, vinegar and bleach are some of the most common solutions that are used. With both being easy to find, homeowners can quickly buy them to tackle the mold in their homes as soon as possible. While some individuals prefer using one over the other, most just want to use the solution that works the best. While both can have a place in a clean home, when it comes to killing mold we recommend using vinegar.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #626262; font-family: Poppins, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 15px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
What’s unique about vinegar in relation to mold removal is the fact that it can kill mold at the base by penetrating through porous materials. This is different from bleach, which will only kill surface mold and will not penetrate through the materials that have been affected. This means vinegar will ultimately kill the growth at the root, which is crucial for fully eliminating mold. If you only clean the surface, then the mold will eventually return in days or weeks and you’ll be right back where you started.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #626262; font-family: Poppins, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 15px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
According to the<a href="https://www.epa.gov/mold/mold-cleanup-your-home" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px none; color: #0423d1; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline-offset: 0.2em; outline: red dotted 0.14em; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><span> </span>EPA</a>, bleach should not be used during mold cleanup because mold spores will remain in the pores of the impacted material. They also urge homeowners to practice safe cleanup practices by not mixing bleach with other cleaning solutions, including those that contain ammonia, because these can produce fumes that are dangerous and toxic. Instead, use vinegar that will penetrate deep into the materials and get rid of mold in the most effective manner possible.</div>

Identifying where the leak is coming from is one of the most important parts of handling this type of situation. However, that can be easier said than done. If you’re not sure whether the leak is the result if a failed roofing system or a broken pipe, you may not even know how to get started.

No matter what the cause of the leak is, it’s important to address it as soon as possible. Waiting will only result in worsening damage as additional moisture seeps into the drywall. This can increase the amount of damage you have to restore, whether it’s in the ceiling or on the floors where the water has dripped.

If your ceiling water damage is the result of inclement weather such as a rainstorm, you won’t be able to do much until the storm is over. However, if you do have access to your attic, it’s a good idea to place a bucket underneath the leak in your ceiling to prevent it from getting into the drywall or the ceiling of the floor below. While your roof will still be damaged, this can help minimize excess damage by preventing additional moisture from going into the ceiling.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #626262; font-family: Poppins, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 15px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Once the storm is over, it’s important to repair the opening that allowed the water to enter your home in the first place. This may require the help of a roofer, especially if you’re not able to see the damaged area for yourself. We always recommend hiring a contractor if you’re not comfortable climbing on your roof or just need advice making sure the repairs are done the right way.</div>

While the leak may continue to drip for a short amount of time afterward, the water should eventually dissipate as the pipes are cleared. Once this has happened, it’s a good idea to have a plumber take a look at the problem. While some homeowners can do repairs on their own, finding the source of the leak and doing repairs can be difficult without the right tools and experience.</div>

Allowing drywall to sit until it dries can cause mold, mildew, and discoloration. This can also result in the moisture seeping into other areas of the ceiling, which will cause more damage than what you started with. It’s also important to note that the materials inside of your ceiling can take weeks or even months to fully dry. This can mean it will take a long time to see the full extent of the damage if you wait.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #626262; font-family: Poppins, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 15px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
To avoid running into problems associated with allowing drywall to naturally dry, we recommend tackling the damage right away. This should begin with carefully cutting out the drywall that has been damaged by the water. It’s best to use a sharp tool that will precisely cut the section you want to remove so that you don’t run the risk of making the damaged area larger. It’s also important to be careful while cutting to ensure that you avoid hitting any wiring that might be located above the ceiling.</div>

Removing the damaged drywall will uncover the moisture that remains inside of the wall. We understand that it can be disheartening to see this, especially if you’ve never dealt with water damage before. However, by moving forward with industrial fans, you can work to quickly dry this moisture and get your structure back in good condition once again. If the area is small, one fan should be enough for adequate drying. However, if you have a large space to address, then you’ll want to add one or two more industrial fans to the mix.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #626262; font-family: Poppins, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 15px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
No matter how many fans you end up using, make sure they are pointed directly at the damaged area on your ceiling. We also strongly encourage the use of a dehumidifier in the room to help get additional moisture out of the space as rapidly as possible. Leave these on for several days, periodically checking to make sure the area inside of the ceiling is continuously drying.</div>

Waiting for the structure to dry is perhaps one of the most difficult parts of fixing a ceiling leak. Unfortunately, there’s nothing you can do until the structure is fully dry and there is no more moisture left behind. However, once this happens, you can get to work assessing the damage that has occurred. Use a flashlight to look around and identify any materials inside the ceiling that are warped and structurally unsafe. This should include any materials that have mold or mildew growth present, including softwood and insulation.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #626262; font-family: Poppins, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 15px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Once you have a full view of the damage, it will take time to remove the materials that cannot be saved. If you’re not comfortable doing this yourself, don’t hesitate to hire a contractor for help. However, if you are confident in your abilities, you can get started with the careful removal of damaged materials. Once finished, it will be crucial to replace anything that was removed, which may also necessitate help from a professional.</div>

Many people are unaware that trash and grease could clog their plumbing systems. Trash and waste materials do not belong in pipes. They will most likely cause clogs and damages. Grease may pass through pipes, but it can clog septic systems or cause sewer backups. Paper, metal, glass, and even hair could also cause blockages.</div>

Another cause that may damage plumbing systems is tree roots. Large trees’ roots can get through pipes causing them to get blocked. This is an expensive problem that would require not only a plumber’s service, but a tree company’s service as well.</div>

People would commonly go for a quick fix when their drains get clogged by using chemical drain cleaners. But, these chemicals could actually cause more damage to pipes. They also cause harm to the environment, so it’s best to avoid these products.</div>

Damage to your plumbing system can be prevented with these tips:</h3>
<ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #737e86; font-family: Poppins, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: outside; margin: 0px 0px 15px 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="border: 0px none; font: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Install water leak detection for the plumbing systems. It’ll help detect leaks early before damages become worse.</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; font: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Do not use drains for trash disposal. Whether the trash is biodegradable or not, it doesn’t belong there. Use a trap for drains to prevent unwanted waste from going into the pipes. Avoid pouring grease down the drain as well.</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; font: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Install a backflow prevention assembly especially when your system is connected to a city’s sewer system or when your home is located lower than the street level.</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; font: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">When building a new house, consider placing it away from trees. Trees could also be removed and replaced after every 2 years. This will prevent roots from damaging the pipes.</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; font: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Hire a certified experienced plumber to maintain pipes and repair damages. Trying out DIY repairs could further damage the plumbing system. Getting an expert will be more cost-efficient.</li>

Hiring a Professional Plumber</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #626262; font-family: Poppins, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Repairing plumbing problems isn’t a job for anybody. It’s best to call an established plumbing company when repairing damages or maintaining plumbing systems. There are many plumbing companies that offer a wide range of services from simple drain unclogging to repairing major water system damages.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #626262; font-family: Poppins, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Besides installation and repair services, plumbers can also help prevent catastrophic damaged that could happen anytime. Even when it’s just a clogged drain or a leaky pipe, it’s advisable to call for professional help. A simple leak might already be a sign that there’s a big underlying problem in the plumbing system.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #626262; font-family: Poppins, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Only hire licensed plumbers from a reputable company. Some plumbers who don’t have licenses may offer cheaper services, but there’s no assurance that they’ll get the job right. There’s a good chance that they’ll cause bigger problems and more damage to the plumbing system and drains.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #626262; font-family: Poppins, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

You have remodeled your home and you love every part of it. Despite
the problems that many people go through like contractors, you are happy
to have finished and started decorating your home. With time, you start
to notice a smell in various rooms in the house when the rains begin.
The first thing that you will suspect is mold and you start looking for
signs of water such as discoloration on the walls, ceiling or even
puddles of water. You find nothing but the smell is still there, getting
even stronger with time. What do you do next?<br />
<br />
The first thing you need to do is locating the source of the mold,
what’s creating it and what’s feeding it. Just like plants, molds needs
nutrients and moisture to grow. When there is a leakage, there is a
creation of a perfect ground for mold growth. You will need to find if
there is any leakage though it can sometimes be difficult. If you can
visibly see or smell the mold, there is no need to spend money on mold
testing. The process will include cleaning the mold, locating the source
of the moisture and fixing it. If you think you may have mold, get in
touch with one of the Action 1 Restoration locations to get a mold
removal estimate – <a href="http://www.action1restoration.net/restoration-services/mold-removal/">http://www.action1restoration.net/restoration-services/mold-removal/</a><br />

<h3>
What Is Mold</h3>
Molds are fungi. They grow naturally and built environment. In
nature, molds play a big role in breaking down dead material. Molds
should never be allowed to grow indoors because of the many health
complications it could bring. Contact with the molds can also cause
complication, especially if swallowed.<br />
<br />
The type and severity of the health effects that mold produces are
usually difficult to predict. The risk can vary from one location to
another and from person to person. There are some people that might be
affected more than others, these include; Elderly people, infants, and
children, people with respiratory conditions such as asthma and
allergies and persons with weakened immune systems.<br />
<strong>Below are some of the early signs that you may have mold</strong><br />
<br />
<h3>
Noticeable mold odors</h3>
This is one of the most practical ways to find molds in your home by
using your eyes to look for mold growth and by using the nose to locate
the exact location of the source. The smell is a sure way to get the
exact way to get the location because the smell gets stronger as you get
closer. If you see mold or an musty or earthy smell, you should assume
the mold problem exists.<br />
<br />
<h3>

may appear cottony, granular, velvety or leathery and vary in different
colors like white, brown, green, yellow, black and gray. Many times, it
appears as staining, discoloration or fuzzy growth on the surface of
the building materials and furnishing. When the mold is visible, there
is no need for testing.<br />
You might notice excess moisture or water damage<br />
Look for any standing water, water leaks, condensation problems and
water stains. The best places to start looking is the carpet, walls,
ceilings, woodwork and other building materials.<br />

problems. This is because the water contains a lot of bacteria that
contaminates everything that it comes into contact with. By making use
of chemical cleaners, they will quickly rid the affected areas of
bacteria and microorganisms. Depending on the type of water, (clear,
grey or black) will determine what is needed for the cleaning and
sanitation.<br />

damage it will cause. This means that repairs take much longer, and the
overall cost will be higher. As soon as one of the partner team members

<h2>
Protect Your Home And Your Family With Mold Prevention After A Water Exposure</h2>
When a home is flooded or damaged by water, many homeowners focus on
the visible signs. They mop up puddles, air out rooms, and try to
salvage as much as they can from the wreckage. What they often do not
realize is that a lot of damage can take place in places that are hidden
from view. A professional water removal company utilizes additional
tools like thermal imaging and moisture meters to help ensure that any
hidden pockets of water are taken care of.<br />
<br />
Water can easily seep underneath floorboards or go behind the walls
of a home. If these hidden pockets of water are not cleaned up and dried
out right away, they can create the perfect environment for mold and
mildew. Often, these can start to grow within 48 hours from the time the
water was sitting.<br />

Unfortunately, many people do not realize that they have mold growing
in their homes until it is too late. Cleaning up a full-fledged mold
infestation can be a very expensive and time-consuming process. In some
very rare cases, the only solution is to tear down the home and rebuild
it from scratch.<br />
To avoid such problems, you need to make sure that you clean
everything up thoroughly after your home has been damaged by water. By
calling Action 1 Restoration, you can get the cleanup process started
right away so that mold and mildew are unable to gain a foothold in your
home.<br />
<br />
Mold spores are everywhere, and most of the time they do not cause
any problems. The vast majority of them will never land anywhere that
provides a hospitable environment. However, if they do happen to find a
resting place that is warm and damp, they can start to grow almost
immediately.<br />
When they do, they can cause huge blooms of mold that can send
billions of spores into the air. At these levels, these spores can be a
real health hazards. People with respiratory problems or weak immune
systems can quickly fall ill if they are exposed to too many mold
spores.<br />

If a mold infestation grows too large, it can start to eat into the
wood in your home. You may not even realize that this damage is
happening until it is too late, since most of it is taking place behind
your walls or underneath your floorboards.<br />
Because of the danger posed by mold, you need to make sure that water
is removed from all areas of your home right away. Just mopping up the
visible puddles and pools of water is not enough. You need to call
Action 1 Restoration so we can clean up all the water, both visible and
hidden from view.<br />
<br />
Thoroughly cleaning up, drying out, and disinfecting a home after a flood is a big job that requires <em>specialized equipment</em>.

<h3>
Get The Water Removed ASAP To Avoid Mold Growth</h3>
Water can cause a lot more damage than just making your floorboards damp and ruining some books or other items. It can hide underneath your floors and behind your walls. The warm, damp, dark environment that is thus created provides a perfect place for mold to start growing.<br />
<br />
There are always mold spores drifting around in the air, but most of these never cause any problems. However, when spores land somewhere warm and damp, they can quickly start to grow at a very rapid rate. In just a few days, you could already have a sizable patch of mold growing in your home.<br />
<br />
Large patches of mold can spew forth billions of mold spores. When spores are present in such concentrations, they can cause all sorts of mysterious and unpleasant health hazards. This is particularly hazardous for people who are already in poor health or have weak immune systems. Children and pets can also be vulnerable.<br />

The first step should be boarding up any burned up doors and windows to prevent unauthorized entry. The house will also need to be protected against weather elements such as wind, direct sunlight and rain. Some roof repair may be needed to protect the house.</p><br/><h3>Step 2: Have your insurance provider notified:</h3><br/><p>This should be done while, or after you have secured the house.   Having the insurance provider notified helps file for compensation claims, as well as have their investigators come to assess damage.  The fire response department can help you while filing for compensation. If you do not have any insurance policy for the house, you can as well seek advice and help from organizations’ such as the Red Cross and Religious organizations’ among others.</p><br/><h3>Step 3: Have the level of damage examined and recorded:</h3><br/><p>Once through with the insurance company, have a professional examine and record the level of damage.  The insurance company may offer to cover for the repairs and remediation, but this will greatly depend with the policy cover. It is after the damage has been assessed and determined that you can decide the next best option.</p><br/><h3>Step 4: Implement a remediation process:</h3><br/><p><a href="http://blog.action1restoration.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/fire_smoke_damage_assistance.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1354" src="http://blog.action1restoration.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/fire_smoke_damage_assistance.jpg" alt="fire_smoke_damage_assistance" width="217" height="219"/></a>With damage already recorded and determined, your final step should be to find a remediation company to handle the damage. It is however advisable to look for a certified remediation company to restore the house back to normalcy.  Damages from fire disasters tend to get worse if not handled in good time. It would therefore important to make sure the insurance/remediation company you have hired to implement these repairs properly, and within the shortest time possible.</p><br/><p>The <a title="recovery process after a fire disaster" href="http://www.action1restoration.net/fire-damage/">recovery process after a fire disaster</a> is always the hardest for most people. This is because water and mold damages need to be controlled, and most of the destroyed items need to be replaced.  This is the reason why an inventory of items in your house, especially a business, should be kept for compensation purposes in case a similar event happens.</p><br/> <br/><a href="http://blog.action1restoration.net/fire-damage/dealing-fire-damage-disaster-step-step-guide/">Dealing With A Fire Damage Disaster: Step By Step Guide</a>Action 1 Restorationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06484030093986711174noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4719409767809980656.post-67984232237697315522014-07-23T21:04:00.000-07:002014-07-23T21:04:24.105-07:00Exactly what To Look For In A Black Water Damage Services Firm<br />
