Important Health & Safety Warning: Protect Your Home from Water Damage!

If you've experienced flooding in your home and are considering covering your terrazzo or concrete floors, think twice!

Why? When water levels rise, your slab can become saturated, especially if there's a level three water situation. This type of water can harbor dangerous bacteria, posing serious health risks to you and your family. The long-term ramifications of not addressing this issue can lead to persistent health problems and costly repairs.

What You Need to Know:

Bacteria Risks:

Level three water is highly contaminated and can lead to mold growth and a host of health issues if not completely eradicated.

Moisture Barrier Concerns:

If your slab is saturated, it’s likely there's a moisture barrier preventing proper drainage. This means any trapped water will only evaporate upwards, bringing along harmful efflorescent salts.

Hidden Dangers:

Even if you install new flooring now, salt deposits can form underneath, causing damage and complications even a year later.

Prevention is Key:

Instead of covering up, consider cleaning, sanitizing, and polishing your terrazzo, marble, or concrete surfaces. This approach not only preserves the integrity of your floors but also protects your family's health.
