Hardwood floors that have been exposed to excessive moisture of any kind can result in damage like cupping and/or buckling if they are not quickly dried.

Flood Specialists, Inc. uses state-of-the-art technology to effectively and efficiently repair or restore wet documents and valuable keepsakes. Our vacuum freeze drying capabilities help set us apart from other restoration companies in the industry.
Because items such as important and sensitive documents, books, heirlooms and other keepsakes are often of great value, the ability to preserve or restore them should be of utmost concern to insurance providers. In many cases they can mean just as much to the insured as the damage to the structures and premises themselves.

If you have experienced a sewage backup in your home or business, you don't need pictures to understand the need to quickly clean and disinfect the area. Each year hundreds ofthousands of incidents take place. This sewage backup creates an environment in which potentially deadly pathogens are introduced into the home or business and conditions arecreated in which toxic black mold can grow in the basement.
After each sewage backup cleaning, Flood Specialists, Inc. uses disinfection products (sanitizing agents, germicides, & anit-microbial treatments) that arrest the growthof bacteria, fungi, mildew, and other harmful microorganisms. The affected area is also thoroughly deodorized.
Mold is often a rusult of moisture and poor air movement. If black mold starts to grow and is not removed, it can overrun your home and make you sick. Black mold is also know as S. chlorohalonata. Symptoms of black mold sickness include chronic fatigue, headaches, fever, irritation to the eyes, mucous membranes of the mouth, nose and throat, sneezing, coughing (chronic). In some cases a rash can develop. Severe cases can include nausea, vomiting and bleeding of the lungs and nasal passage.
You can test for mold by purchasing a mold test kit from your local home improvement store. Simply follow the instructions, send in the sample and wait for the results to be sent back.
