Whether it is water from something as catastophic as hurricane Sandy or something as mundane as the condensation that can accumulate inside a wall cavity from an HVAC supply line, unwanted water in your home is bad. The race against mold and bacteria begins from the moment the water enters your investment, AKA, your home. Decoding the sudden onslaught of water that accompanies something like a flood or burst pipe is easy enough to do. On the other hand, the water that may be lurking within the wall cavities and under cabinets from a much slower source of water like a pin hole in an ice maker line or the afformentioned condensation from your homes HVAC system can wreak havoc on your home and the health of you and your loved ones as the mold continues to grow unnoticed. From the moment that water is added to an organic food source like wood, carpet, sheetrock or just an adequate supply of dust the mold can start to grow in as little as 24 hours. If the water source originates from a sewage backflow youve got the added bonus of bacteria to contend with. Even if the water appears to be clean, it has the potential to harbor mass quanities of bacteria.
