Flood Services Canberra Warns Damp Carpet Could Cause Health Problems

By: Get News
Everyone knows flooding can significantly damage a home, but the experts at Flood Services Canberra use their years of experience to help clients restore their homes by drying carpets, wooden floors, and structural features without leaving mould behind.

The experts at Flood Services Canberra warn homeowners that burst flex hoses and other internal water sources lead to water damage, which must be addressed because wet carpets become a breeding ground for mould—and mould spores are a health hazard. 

“Mould removal is a specialized process that requires a unique combination of training and skill,” Flood Services Canberra representatives said. “The growth of mould is the result of the failure of rapid and appropriate drying after serious water damage. Moulds can be dangerous for various reasons, and they must be removed as soon as possible.”

Mould-related symptoms

Flood Services Canberra advises the public to watch for symptoms of mould-related illness after unexpected flooding. Symptoms include headaches, skin and eye irritation, runny nose, coughing, sore throat, fatigue, increased infection rates from a weakened immune system, and deteriorating mental health. 

Infants, young children, the elderly, and anyone with a weakened immune system or lung disease are more susceptible to health problems after inhaling mould spores. If Australians notice any of the mentioned symptoms after flooding, they are urged to contact a mould remediation specialist like Flood Services Canberra and seek medical attention as soon as possible. 

Mould remediation

Water damage can set in quickly, and it’s essential that all water be dried entirely, or mould could grow back again. Flood Services Canberra uses the latest technology for mould remediation to ensure it can provide the best possible solutions to its customers. 

“At Flood Services Canberra, we will clean the area using everything we have. This can involve scrubbing, scraping, cleaning dust and dirt with vacuum, and even the removal of construction materials, furniture, and anything else afflicted by mould,” representatives said. “Remember that your home and your wellbeing depend on this.”
