Should you come across any stagnant/standing water in your home it is important to get it taken care of as soon as possible. This kind of water can be found in your basement, on flooring, or even under carpeting. Most of the time this water comes from clean sources such as a supply line breaking or rainwater that is seeping into your home but you could also run into contaminated water and this type of water comes from flooding and sewage backups. Water that is not taken care of in a timely manner can become a breeding ground for bacteria and can cause mold to grow and spread in as little as 48 hours. It can also be harmful to your health.
