TAKE THESE STEPS TO PREVENT MOLD AND SAFETY HAZARDS


Water intrusion creates a variety of health and safety risks for families. Flooding and leaks are a leading cause of mold growth in homes. Flooding also puts water in dangerous proximity to electricity, creating risk of electrical shock. Delaware's Division of Public Health offers the following recommendations to head off this growing problem.

These precautions will make your clean up tasks safer and keep you healthy.
