The Dangers of Standing Water

Standing water, also called flood water, poses many risks. According to the CDC, standing water puts your health at risk of diseases like Hepatitis B, giardiasis, E. Coli, tetanus, Legionnaire’s disease, skin infections, and the list goes on. Because flood water often contains contaminants from sewage, chemical runoff, and mold, the CDC even warns that you shouldn’t let your children play with toys that have been in contact with standing water.

Along with the health risks, standing water also puts your property at risk. Water can break down the very foundation of homes, destroy expensive equipment, and cause mold to grow.

How to Clean Up Standing Water

If you only experienced a small amount of flooding and the water has gone down, you might be tempted to clean up the flood water yourself. However, this is generally not advisable as homeowners do not have the proper equipment to get affected areas safely dry and decontaminated. Water is often deeply saturated into concrete, subfloors, and carpet padding. Even if the surface seems dry, there is likely still high levels of moisture which are festering mold and bacteria.

To make sure your home or business is safe, and that you are spared further costly damage, the professionals at 24/7 Flood Rescue Carson, CA take these steps to clean up standing water:

  Extraction: We have portable submersible pumps which can remove flood water of all depths and from virtually any space, including crawlspace flooding.
  Property Salvaging: Some property cannot be saved, such as mattresses or cushions which were affected by sewage water. Items which can be saved will be disinfected and dried. Unsalvageable items will be safely disposed of for you.
  Drying: We use air movers and injectridry systems to evaporate water from flooded spaces.
  Dehumidification: The air humidity is carefully controlled to speed up drying and prevent mold growth.
