Then the mold and mildew starts. A potential major health hazard. Try and get a drying company when hundreds of thousands have major damage.Be careful of being lulled into a false sense of security with these numbers.


Well that's a positive outlook. Why don't you go to Hurricane Season Preparedness | State of Florida and learn how to prepare for storms like Irma. It's never too late.
