Commercial Losses and Mold

1/8/2019 (Permalink)

As not all mold or other microbes in damp indoor environments may be associated with health reactions, some may be according to the Institute of Medicine.  If you have contaminated water in your commercial property SERVPRO of Hayward offers contaminated water response, and your concern and our crews #1 concern is the health and safety of your workers and occupants.  

Microbes found in water damages can multiply and become airborne and spread to clean areas causing cross-contamination.  Some of these microbes include:

Fungi-organisms that digest building materials for food.

Bacteria-single celled organisms living in soil, water, and organic matter.

Viruses-the simplest microbes that can live inside a living body.

When any of these exist time is of the essence, as the excess water and humidity can result in microbes multiplying.  By starting out and properly drying these sometimes harmful microbes can be avoided and not spread.

Please have a restoration plan in place for when an event comes up as such and give SERVPRO of Hayward a call at 715-634-0699.
