Mold and water go hand-in-hand. One of the most common causes of mold is incomplete or improper drying after water damage resulting from flooding from a storm, a burst pipe or the failure of an appliance or heating system. If professional drying is not started with 24 to 48 hours, mold is very likely to form and spread.
Water-Out Southern New England is the premier emergency drying company in New England, and is a sister company of Enviro-Clean, Inc. Water-Out responds to water damage emergencies 24/7/365, and we've traveled all over the country to provide emergency drying services to clients in need. Just a few of the places we've been:
- Florida - Stuart, West Palm Beach, Destin, Pensacola, and Perdido Key in 2004 for Hurricanes Charlie, Frances, Jeanne and Ivan, and Santa Rosa for Hurricane Dennis in 2005
- Mississippi - Gulfport, Waveland, Pass Christian and Bay St. Louis for Hurricane Katrina in 2005
- Louisiana - Metarie, Gretna, Baton Rouge, LaPlace and New Orleans for Hurricanes Gustav and Katrina
- Texas - Houston, Port Arthur and Liberty for Hurricane Ike in 2008
- Iowa - Cedar Rapids for the floods in June 2008
The following pictures are from a commercial building in Cranston, Rhode Island. The sprinkler system let go and flooded the building. If you look closely you'll see that the water level in the basement is almost all the way to the ceiling!
