Aqualux Carpet Cleaning provides Flood Services around the clock. Unfortunately floods happen! Aqualux can remove standing water and any contaminants left behind by dirty water and keep your home from being damaged. Aqualux Carpet Cleaning uses high-powered extraction equipment and custom chemical solutions to keep mold, mildew and odors out of your home. Flooding can lead to property destruction. Severe flooding can damage almost everything in your home or building including carpet, padding, walls, furniture, computers (most electronic devices), documents and clothing. If you want to be successful in saving your home interior and personal items from flood damage it’s important to eliminate moisture and humidity immediately! Equipment that generates heat will cause the humidity level to increase. Therefore, mold and mildew will grow faster with heat. Aqualux has the proper equipment to reduce and eliminate the moisture caused by a flood. Our process involves using special restoration equipment and chemicals to remove moisture, mold, mildew and odor. When using Aqualux’s Flood Service our flood technicians monitor your home or business property daily to ensure the best possible result. If a flood occurs call for assistance immediately! It’s important to remove the water as soon as possible. If not, it will cause more damage to your home or business.

Large mold infestations can typically be seen or smelled. Mold has a very distinctive musty and earthy smell. Mold can take on many color variations depending upon the type of mold. However, all types of mold cannot grow without moisture or water. Indoor mold growth can produce minor to severe respiratory problems. Molds produce allergens which when touched, or inhaled causes allergic reactions such as rashes, red eyes, runny nose, sneezing, and cause asthma attacks for people with asthma. In some of the worst cases, mold can produce potentially toxic substances called mycotoxins. Black mold is one of the most common household molds, which can grow all over the house. Most of the worst toxic molds tend to populate in the wet and warm locations.

Common Causes of Floods in the Home:

  • Busted Pipe
  • Toilet Overflow
  • Air Conditioner Leak
  • Rusted Water Heater
  • Bathtub Overspill
  • Sewage Backup
  • Washing Machine Malfunction
  • Foundation Cracks

 Flood Consequences

If you have a sudden rush of water, a downpour that saturates your carpet and surges into your home, there is no doubt about it! You have a flood and this could lead to water damage sooner than you think!

Or maybe you have a slow leak, such as an air conditioning drain pan that overflows intermittently, well that is just as bad. The last thing you want to do is let moist carpet, walls or furniture sit for hours or days. The humidity and moisture levels in your home will rise, causing condensation. You are almost guaranteed to end up with health-threatening mold. Not to mention, a horrible, musty smell that will permeate your residence.

The results of waiting too long could be dire. Water damage can really ruin living conditions and bring down your property value. Standing water will seep into baseboards and walls, weakening the structure of your home. If the flood is on the second floor or coming through the attic, you run the risk of a water-logged ceiling collapsing and spreading dust, insulation and debris into your living space. Moisture can destroy many items beyond salvation. You don’t want to end up replacing expensive furniture and electronic equipment. Or worse yet, losing items that cannot be replaced such as precious photos, mementos or documents.
