Flood water from a storm is the same as rain water , right?

By the time that flood water gets to your living room it may  have picked up some bad baggage along the way.

There can be pathogens, parasites and chemicals to name a few.

You need to be very careful to protect yourself when cleaning up during these conditions.

SERVPRO makes sure they have the right protective gear and clothing when working during these conditions. Many people can get lung infections or infections in a cut or abrasion from the contaminated water. 

Be careful when trying to mitigate this yourself. If you are trying to get the water out please make sure you realize that it is not clean water and take the right precautions. You have enough to worry about without worrying abut your health.

SERVPRO of Baltimore's Inner Harbor is hear to help.
