The products in this Water Damage Clean Up Kit have been carefully selected for the storm damage restoration process - cleaning, disinfecting, killing mold and blocking the return of mold. When you have been through a disaster like a hurricane and subsequent flooding damage, it is hard to think what to do next and the job of repairs and returning to normal can be overwhelming. We have also selected personal protection items such as gloves and goggles. For easier application, a rechargeable battery-operated sprayer comes in the kit. And for your convenience, so that you have what you need all together, the kit includes a 2-gallon bucket and two sponges. Each item in the kit is listed separately if you prefer to buy any of the products individually.
See the Tips For Clean Up tab for helpful information from FEMA & the EPA.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has produced a brochure that is an excellent source of help for extremely water damaged or flooded homes.
For ongoing prevention of moisture build up in your home that can lead to mold, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends taking these steps:
When water leaks or spills occur indoors - ACT QUICKLY. If wet or damp materials or areas are dried 24-48 hours after a leak or spill happens, in most cases mold will not grow.
Clean and repair roof gutters regularly.
Make sure the ground slopes away from the building foundation, so that water does not enter or collect around the foundation.
Keep air conditioning drip pans clean and the drain lines unobstructed and flowing properly.
Keep indoor humidity low. If possible, keep indoor humidity below 60 percent (ideally between 30 and 50 percent). Relative humidity can be measured with a moisture or humidity meter, a small, inexpensive instrument (such as the Acu-Rite Indoor Humidity Monitor).
If you see condensation or moisture collecting on windows, walls or pipes ACT QUICKLY to dry the wet surface and reduce the moisture/water source. Condensation can be a sign of high humidity.
The EPA suggests the following actions to help reduce humidity in your home:
Vent appliances that produce moisture, such as clothes dryers, stoves, and kerosene heaters to the outside where possible. (Combustion appliances such as stoves and kerosene heaters produce water vapor and will increase the humidity unless vented to the outside.)
Use air conditioners and/or dehumidifiers (like Soleus Dehumidifiers) when needed.
Run the bathroom fan or open the window when showering. Use exhaust fans or open windows whenever cooking, running the dishwasher or dishwashing, etc.
The EPA recommends these actions that will help prevent condensation if that is a problem in your home:
Reduce the humidity.
Increase ventilation or air movement by opening doors and/or windows, when practical. Use fans as needed.
Cover cold surfaces, such as cold water pipes, with insulation.
Increase air temperature.
