Post-flood mold prevention and remediation guide
Reviewed by Daniel Leon, Florida DBPR Licensed Mold Assessor MRSA3831.
Flood water is often contaminated (Category 3 water). Porous materials like drywall and carpet must typically be removed. Drying must occur within 24-48 hours to prevent massive microbial growth.
Professional assessment and remediation are necessary to ensure all moisture pockets and hidden mold are properly identified and removed.
