Just follow the simple phrase: clean, kill and coat. If you are a
property owner who is getting back on their feet after this year's
unusually active hurricane season, this simple phrase can prevent
recurring mold and mildew problems.
Anytime flooding or storm-related water damage has occurred, there's a
good chance for mold growth.What happens is, walls and wall cavities
get absolutely soaking wet and if you don't get in there and properly
clean and treat it immediately, mold can grow very quickly, in as
little as 24 to 48 hours.
Examples of mold food sources include wall cavities, ceiling tile, drywall and air conditioning ducts.
And if you live in Florida, structural damage from Hurricanes Charley,
Frances, Ivan and Jeanne, accompanied by heavy rains in many locations,
has created perfect mold growth conditions.
The historic 2004 hurricane season finally ended Tuesday, but for tens
of thousands of Floridians still struggling to recover, the date is
meaningless.
From Polk County, to the Panhandle, and from Hutchinson Island to Punta
Gorda, misery remains in Florida as indelible as the storm names -
Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne - that will forever be linked to the
state's unforgettable summer.
What this has to do with mold? - A lot, as a matter of facts. Those
hurricanes brought a lot of water damage, and with that comes mold.
