Unusual weather systems are resulting in record amounts of rainfall in cities nationwide. When all of that precipitation results in natural disasters such as floods, excess moisture and standing water can lead to the growth of mold in homes and other buildings. In fact, mold can begin to develop in as little as two days on wet floors, walls, furniture, and other places where it may not be visible.
Mold can lead to serious health effects, and must be treated by professionals immediately. The first 48 hours after water damage can be critical in preventing mold growth, so it is important for insurance adjusters to be educated on the proper response methods, so that they can act fast to prevent further damage.
