Mold and Mildew
While most don't realize it, one biggest dangers posed to homeowners after experiencing Tega Cay water damage is mold and mildew. These growths are a form of secondary damage that can be more dangerous than the actual flood or fire. Because homes are closed off from fresh air, the presence of water increases humidity levels. After a flood or fire, homes will become incredibly damp and humid, creating the perfect breeding ground for mold. The warm and moist environment can even cause spores and fungi to grow.  

The danger with mold and mildew lies with the health effects they cause. Those with even moderate allergies can experience flu-like symptoms shortly after exposure. Inhaling these pathogens can even cause life-threatening ailments. Homeowners risk getting cancer, immune diseases, and a number of other conditions. There are numerous types of mold and mildew that can grow, all of which are dangerous to humans. To avoid the risk of exposure, homeowners shouldn't enter their home until it is fully restored.

They'll use a number of drying techniques to rid the home of moisture as soon as possible. This helps to stunt the growth of mildew.

If mold is already present, they can remove it effectively and sanitize the area, making it safe.

Homes can experience significant structural damage when exposed to water, making the home unlivable. Restoration teams work to secure the home's structural integrity by removing and replacing certain components.
