| Article | Ocean City, Maryland (June 28, 2006) --- The Delmarva area’s leading flooring company, O.C. Floor Gallery, is warning home and property owners about the potential dangers of mold and mildew following storms that have drenched parts of Maryland’s eastern shore with up to 15-inches of rain. In an area already known for high humidity, the torrential storms have heightened fears of potential health and environmental problems in homes, particularly in rugs and carpet, left soaked by floodwaters. “Just because flooring may appear to be drying, it’s what the homeowner does not see beneath the flooring surface, particularly in carpet backing, padding and the sub-flooring, that can lead to problems after the storms are long gone,” stated Scott LeClaire, President, O.C. Floor Gallery. “It is important for homeowners to recognize the need for professional intervention and avoid the simple “do-it-yourself” approach that could do more to intensify problems rather than eliminate them.” The O.C. Floor Gallery is opening its toll-free hotline, 800.990.OCFG, to offer the expertise of its professional flooring technicians and mechanics to share important flooring information and safety tips. The information is included in a safety checklist to help inform homeowners of the need to take corrective measures before considering alternative flooring ideas designed to meet their individual needs. “We want to provide homeowners with a well balanced assessment of their needs that allows them to examine all the options,” LeClaire said. “We want to make sure they have an opportunity to avoid trying to fix something that is beyond fixing,” LeClaire added, referring to damage that qualifies for replacement instead of repair or restoration. The O.C. Floor Gallery, designated by Mohawk Industries as an exclusive Floorscapes dealer, is the most trusted name in flooring in the Delmarva area. The O.C. Floor Gallery is a member of the Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce, Maryland Home Improvement Commission and the Eastern Shore Building Industry Association.
