It may not be safe to stay in a flooded home or business. If you come into contact with or ingest flood water, it can make you sick if the water is contaminated. Standing water inside a structure that was inhabited also poses an electrocution risk, as appliances and electrical outlets can continue to be live and energized.

Mold frequently shows up after a water damage or flood situation in a home. The increase in moisture content of materials makes them ripe for mold inhabitation. Mold spreads by releasing its spores into the air. These spores can easily be distributed throughout a home through fans, the HVAC system, or from people or pets who come into contact with the spores. This is why it is very important not to disturb mold, and keep the area contained until a professional can assess and take care of the situation.

Mold can produce allergens, irritants or other health effects that could affect some people. According to the CDC, there are very few reports that toxigenic molds (those that produce mycotoxins) cause severe issues, and the link has not yet been proven. However, in 2004 the Institute of Medicine found there was sufficient evidence to link indoor exposure to mold with upper respiratory tract symptom, cough, and wheezing in otherwise healthy people. It is best to be cautious around any mold, limit your exposure, and contact a professional who is trained in mold remediation to handle the situation for you.
