New Hampshire Homeowners Need Help Cleaning Flooded Homes
There is a need for volunteers in New Hampshire to help clean basements of mold and mildew left over from the May flood in New Hampshire according to insurancejournal.com.  There are currently more than 300 families statewide living with toxic waste, mold and mildew as a result of the flooding. 

Tim Dupre, executive director of Volunteer NH!, is running the effort to locate 200 volunteers for the organization’s “Mud Out” program, “which helps homeowners who don’t have flood insurance.” 

Unfortunately “so far only 10 people have been trained and agreed to help clean up other homes.”  Those ten people are real troopers for offering their time and risking their health to help others.  How many of us would go to such a degree to lend a hand?


According to Dupre, “mold and mildew grow over time and spread through the wall's insulation, easily traveling from the basement to the first floor and beyond.”  As you can imagine the longer this mildew stays there the more likelihood the homeowners health will be adversely affected. 


Thankfully there are organizations like Volunteer NH! that are willing to help out people in desperate situations.
