EMSL Analytical supplies remediation and drying equipment to help properties and prevent mold growth after water incursions.

BOSTON, MA

This weekends Nor’easter flooded streets and basements and also left many drivers stranded in their vehicles in Waltham, MA. Residents from Linden Street were evacuated and taken to a high school shelter the day after heavy rains flooded the area.

Although damage from water alone can be costly, once mold begins to grow in a property the costs and repercussions can quickly escalate. In most indoor environments it takes as little as 24 to 48 hours for mold to begin to grow on wet building materials, causing indoor air quality (IAQ) problems. Due to this fact it is important to immediately stop the source of any water or excessive humidity and to dry the property as quickly as possible. Wet materials need to be addressed right away.

As the waters crest and eventually recede some property owners who venture back into their homes and businesses may be greeted by flooded properties and ruined belongings. Many other property owners are likely to come across roof leaks and other structural issues that have allowed water to enter their properties.

Properties flooded not only have to deal with water damage issues such as mold but also environmental concerns since flood waters can contain all types sewage, bacteria and chemical contaminants that end up in the properties.
