April showers can bring May flowers but can also bring unwanted flooding with harmful consequences. Flood water that enters your home can make the air inside unhealthy. Mold can grow on wood, drywall, carpet and furniture if they remain wet for more than 24-48 hours. Breathing in mold may make you sick. Flood water can contain bacteria, chemicals, or other hazards which may negatively affect your health.
