Water damage is one of the most frequent causes of homeowners insurance claims in the U.S., and at Sooner Cleaning + Restoration, we know that the most serious damage often begins where you can’t see it. Rain can seep in through foundation cracks, slip behind exterior walls, and sneak under flooring — often without leaving an immediate, obvious trail.
It’s hot, humid, rainy... and the perfect breeding conditions for the age-old household enemy—mold! Many home owners start to see this ring true as the hot summer months roll around. As Robert Weitz, a certified microbial investigator says, “Mold is not picky – it only needs moisture and a food source, such as wood, ceiling tiles, carpet, or sheet rock, to begin growing. The house next door may be fine, and yours may be a serious health hazard.”
With the warm weather finally sticking around, it’s a sign that spring is arriving quickly. While this is a welcome relief for most of us, it can also be a reminder of an all-too long Spring Cleaning checklist. After spending not just the winter, but the majority of the last year inside, a fresh start is needed now more than ever.
