Maricopa County, Arizona Under Flash Flood Warnings Following Monsoon Storms

By: WebWire

Arizona is under flood warnings while monsoon storms pass through the northern counties. Flooding has already occurred over the past few days and more storms are predicted for the weekend. Last year in August there was major flooding that left 2 dead and many displaced while their homes and businesses were left underwater.

Flooding can cause a lot of issues besides water damage. Mold can grow in areas you may not be able to see, such as behind walls. Flood water can also bring in sewage waste, including Bacteroides, as well as expose pieces of asbestos and lead after damage is done to older buildings. While the immediate concern is the flooding, there can be a lot left over to clean up.

“Properties affected by flooding face more than just damage to building materials and personal belongs,” said Joseph Frasca, Senior Vice President of Marketing at EMSL Analytical, Inc. “Many indoor environmental quality (IEQ) issues may exist after the waters have subsided. Older homes may have asbestos-containing materials or lead-based paints. Additional chemicals and sewage contamination may have been present in the flood waters, leading to exposure during clean up and renovation of properties. EMSL offers full analytical services to identify IEQ issues. Additionally, we offer sampling supplies and testing equipment.”

EMSL provides many different forms of testing to help you get the information you need to be able to get your life back to normal. Our Phoenix laboratory, located at 3356 West Catalina Drive in Phoenix, Arizona, offers analytical services for any flood related testing you may need.
