Viruses, Bacteria, and Mold ... During a flood cleanup, the indoor air quality in your home  may appear to be the least of your

problems. However, failure to remove contaminated materials and to reduce moisture and humidity can present serious long-term 

health risks. Standing water and wet materials are a breeding ground for viruses, bacteria, and mold. They can cause disease,

trigger allergic reactions, and continue to damage materials long after the flood. Click for mold Facts      Click for EPA mold resourses
