Flood Damages Come from More Than Just Water

Flood damage usually comes with much more for homeowners to be concerned about than just water, which can make DIY cleanup ill-advised for a plethora of reasons:

• Presence of needles, sharps, and chemical runoff from floodwater
• Floodwater affecting home electrical systems can make interaction with appliances risky
• Sewage, debris, and pests from flooding affect sanitation and comfort in the home
• Mold growth from floodwaters can begin within as little as 24 hours after exposure
