I'm not a Young Living entrepreneur but I have used their Purification oil in a similar situation when I was staying in a friend's basement room. She hadn't told me it had been flooded. The mold was terrible and I am sensitive. Another friend loaned me a cold diffuser and I kept it running on and off and was able to stay in the room. Once you have done everything else it might be a good thing to follow up with.

Hi All, Our boiler died on Friday leaving us with several inches of water in the basement which traveled to carpeted areas. We have vacuumed and also have a dehumidifier running.and it's lots better but definitely still damp. It wasn't caught right away so there was steam everywhere and condensation on the walls (almost like a sauna etc.). The boiler will be fixed this week (hopefully.funds are low blah blah blah) but my major concern is mold and mildew. Does anybody have any ideas on how to PREVENT mold from starting? Anything would be helpful as I'm just about clueless.we can't afford Serve Pro or any other professional to come in and help. I do have a pretty good sized fan (it sounds like an airplane) that I can use.but it's been raining all weekend (yea.NOT!) and didn't think it made any sense opening up the windows to potentially allow any more moisture IN. Anybody? Please? And I thank you for even the silliest idea as aside from running the dehumidifier (which by no means is commercial) - I honestly don't have a clue. Thanks SO much. Lisa
