Preventing Ongoing Moisture Damage

If you live in Minneapolis, MN, you probably know that it is not always easy and possible to prevent storm damage entirely. Storms are a natural weather phenomenon of which we have little or no control. The aftermath of a violent storm is typically characterized by flooding and property destruction, and usually necessitates flood restoration to be carried out immediately.

Having said that, it’s important to note that it is possible to minimize ongoing damage as a result of excessive moisture. Damage from moisture is occurs rapidly. Within hours, mildew and mold will start growing, and if not removed, it will spur within days.

Moisture can also affect surfaces and other structures, especially drywall. When drywall begins to rot, it gives off a characteristic musty odor that becomes worse with time. And sadly, a wet drywall cleanup may not be enough to fully remediate this situation. Getting rid of the drywall altogether might be the best option to prevent potential health hazards from toxic fumes. The situation could be worse if the drywall is of a substandard quality. Drywall with fiberglass covering provides better protection against moisture than paper.
