Daytona Flood Victims Return to Extreme Water Damage
Monday, May 25th, 2009
After a week of solid rain in central Florida, residents are coming home to find their homes and businesses to have suffered not only from water damage, but also the resulting mold that has moved in. Bunnell and Flagler County have received up to 28 inches and some people are wading waist-deep in this disaster. Those in the neighborhoods east of the International Speedway in Daytona had to evacuate in boats.
WESH.com tells what some have resorted to in the aftermath of the rains:
“…What the residents found wasn’t pretty–stains on the walls of homes…showed that a foot of rain had been there.
The floodwater isn’t all gone just yet. There are still inches to mop up and furniture, clothes and files to throw out.
…Local businesses opened their doors only to clean up. It won’t be until later this week when most said they think they may be able to take customers again.”
But WAIT! Keep those files! They can be saved!
After a flood, a restoration specialist can be your best friend–especially when it comes to business continuity. Restoration specialists are able to salvage wet documents and those affected by mold. Water-damaged books, photos, blueprints, and other business documents can also be restored. Properly restoring wet documents will prevent mold growth and unnecessary loss of business.
