Water damage can lead to mold growth in your home, which can cause health problems for you and your family. If you have water damage, it is critical to call a professional to clean up the mold growth. Professionals use specialized equipment and techniques to safely and effectively remove mold from your home, and they will also take steps to prevent future mold growth.

How can you avoid shock hazards during cleanup?

• Turn off the electricity to the affected area before you start cleaning up.
• Wear rubber gloves and boots when cleaning up moldy areas.
• Do not use a vacuum cleaner to clean up moldy areas. This can spread the mold spores throughout your home.
