Mold Removal Wilmington Company Offers Help To Hurricane Florence Victims

Pride Cleaning & Restoration in Wilmington, North Carolina, has announced that they are helping families to pick up the pieces of their lives after Hurricane Florence. Hurricane Florence recently hit the coastal areas of North and South Carolina, leaving millions of dollars of damage in its wake. Pride Cleaning & Restoration states that they are willing to help families affected by the hurricane by providing them with mold removal services. This is essential because the moisture and flooding from the hurricane has greatly increased mold growth in homes in the area.

Jim Seubert, a representative for the mold removal company says, "We are providing services for mold removal Wilmington families whose homes were damaged by Florence can take advantage of. We have seen tons of damage and many homes and businesses with water damage and mold that is caused from the torrential rains that the hurricane brought. We want to help area residents and business owners to clean up the mess from the hurricane and get their lives back on track."

Seubert says that water damage from the hurricane, floods and other natural events is quite common. He states that in coastal areas, mold can grow after a hurricane or heavy rain and that removing that mold is essential to have a healthy atmosphere. Mold can cause breathing issues, particularly in the elderly and in children under the age of two. Seubert says that Pride Cleaning & Restoration can help Wilmington area residents to remove the mold and make their homes healthy once again. He says that the earlier action is taken to eradicate this mold, the better it will be and the lower the risk of it growing into other areas of the home or business.

"You want to schedule mold removal Wilmington as soon as you see those first signs of mold," says Seubert. "In fact, even if you have not yet seen mold, we know that the hurricane brought in a lot of moisture. Mold, particularly in homes that were damaged in the hurricane, is likely going to happen. We can come out and inspect for mold and find it long before you see it, making its eradication faster and easier."

Seubert says that if mold is left untreated, it can cause massive damage to floors, walls and other areas of the home. He states that excessive moisture, which is often seen in areas that are prone to hurricanes, can lead to black mold. Black mold can trigger a number of severe health issues. Seubert says that any home or business that incurred roof damage or other leaking during the hurricane is at risk for growing mold, and this includes black mold. He states that anyone who did incur any water damage during the hurricane should contact the company to discuss their mold removal options immediately.

The company states that whether a home is being rebuilt or simply incurred light damage during the storm, they can help to remove mold. Water will need to be extracted first and Seubert says that after water is removed, they can begin to clean up the mold found in those structures. He urges those who have incurred any damage from the storm to contact them and allow them to inspect their home or business buildings to check for mold. Removal of this mold he states is crucial and should be done immediately once the water is cleaned out and other repairs have begun.

Pride Cleaning & Restoration states that mold can begin growing just 24 hours after water damage has occurred. Any locations that were flooded during the hurricane should be dried completely to help avoid the growth of mold. Seubert says that, unfortunately, even drying those areas may not be enough in some cases. He states that because the hurricane dumped so much water on the Wilmington area, it may be necessary for home and business owners to contact a mold remediation Wilmington company just to check for any signs of mold. Since mold can begin growing so quickly after the area has been flooded, he states that now is the time to have those structures checked to ensure that no mold is present.

Seubert says that it is critical to act quickly after a flood to begin removing water and cleaning up water damage, particularly mold that could be growing in damaged areas. He says that the more someone can do in the first 24 hours after the flood, the lower the risk of additional damage. He also states that those in the area should seriously consider contacting the company to have their homes and businesses inspected for signs of mold so that any mold found can be removed immediately.
