Most of us are familiar with the phrase “when it rains, it pours.” And, sadly, most of us have seen that phrase proven true at one time or another, or perhaps many times in our lives. But for one of our customers recently, that phrase took on whole new meaning. Already faced with great hardship, he additionally found himself in desperate need of water restoration in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

This kind homeowner has been battling cancer, something that is, of course, incredibly difficult in and of itself. And in preparation for surgery, he had his home cleaned from top to bottom- one less thing to worry about. And then, the unthinkable happened. The day of his surgery, his home flooded. So much so that water affected his office, laundry room, ac closet, master closet, master bedroom, hallway, stairwell, dining room, family room, kitchen, stairwell closet, guest bathroom, foyer and the garage of his home. When it rains, it literally pours and floods your house.

JTR’s technicians handled the situation with the greatest care, knowing that this homeowner was already burdened with so much, and that he is currently living with a compromised immune system. Fortunately, because he called immediately, they could go to work immediately, stopping the potential for mold growth and more extensive problems.

When left unattended, moisture promotes the growth of mold and other organisms, increasing the risk for health problems even for those who are generally healthy. But for children and people with compromised immune systems, such as cancer patients, mold exposure can greatly aggravate or cause allergy and asthma symptoms. It can also put them at an increased risk for respiratory diseases and other serious medical issues.

Thankfully, this homeowner did the right thing and immediately called the best in water restoration in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, allowing us to help mitigate the health effects of water damage in his home, and keep mold from moving in. If you find yourself in a similar “when it rains…” position, and particularly if you are suffering with a compromised immune system, please do no hesitate. Call Joe Taylor Restoration immediately. We will see to it that your home or business is restored to its previously healthy state.
