Where there is excess moisture, there are usually molds. Molds like to grow in humid places or areas where there is a lot of moisture in the air. They can grow on surfaces and typically look green, brown, or black. Be careful not to inhale molds because the spores can be poisonous or sometimes even lethal.

If your house suffered from water damage, whether due to flooding from the outside or a leak in your pipes, you need to prevent secondary damage caused by molds. These are the things that you can do:

1. Air out or ventilate the room

What’s important is that you dry up the room effectively. If there is still excess moisture on surfaces and in hidden areas, molds can grow there. After you have cleaned the room, open the windows and allow fresh air to come in. You can also use a fan to improve air circulation in the room.

2. Use a dehumidifier

A dehumidifier can help get rid of the excess moisture in the air. It also helps minimize the musty smell of rooms that have been subjected to flooding.

3. Get water damage restoration services
