ServiceMaster Restore Experts Explain Real Danger From Mold and Water in Wake of Torrential Rain, Floods - Seite 2

• Remove damp items from the home within 24 to 48 hours. Throw away any wet items you don't consider valuable. The replacement cost may be less than restoration. However, a furniture restoration company like Furniture Medic may be able to restore treasured wood furnishings and antiques.
• Never mix bleach with other cleaning products. The combination of chemicals may create toxic fumes.
• Avoid direct contact with affected mold areas as much as possible. Wear protective clothing while sifting through items that were beneath the flood waters or where mold has begun to spread.

ServiceMaster Restore professionals are trained, equipped and ready to restore homes and businesses affected by flooding. With a number of regionally based large-loss command and control centers, a disaster operations center to track severe weather and 1,800 franchises around the world, ServiceMaster Restore can mobilize franchises across the country to handle any size job.
