• Don’t treat flood water (regardless of source) in unwanted places lightly.
• Water that comes in from the outside of your home can bring in harmful bacteria from outside into your home.
• Even if your basement only has an inch of water in it or is even damp it is the perfect breeding ground for mold.

Even if your damage seems like it just affected your carpet water can wick-up onto your walls and get them wet risking the growth of mold if not treated properly. If your walls are made of drywall, water can wick-up as much as 30 inches, if you experience any water damage and are unsure what to do, call the experts at SERVPRO.
