Mold Attacks Galveston, Texas After Huricane Ike
Excerpt:
The menace is mold, and it’s ravaging water-damaged homes and buildings all over Galveston in the island’s latest battle wrought by Hurricane Ike.
Residents and business owners who were finally allowed last week to inspect their properties may have been relieved to find that the structures survived floodwaters and high winds. But many discovered the damage done by various species of mold left to breed wildly in the nurturing environs of damp, hot buildings whose doors and windows were sealed for nearly two weeks.
Comments:
We can expect a growing trend of cities in the hurricane aftermath reporting mold epidemics.
For those in the effected areas, be sure to proceed with caution. In addition to any safety precautions recommended by local experts and authorities, we recommend a few tips:
- Don’t Take Risks – Mold isn’t something to mess around with. Make sure your family is safe. Returning to a home overrun by mold carries a great risk.
- Mold Hates Sunshine & Fresh Air – If you decide to fight the mold, start by making sure to get your windows open and lots of fresh air within the affected areas.
