Water Damage Restoration FAQs

Why can mold become a problem after water damage?

Mold can grow in damp materials within 24 to 48 hours. If moisture remains after drying, mold removal may be needed.

What are common causes of residential water damage?

Common causes include plumbing failures like burst pipes, appliance leaks from water heaters or washing machines, roof leaks, and flooding from severe weather.

How do restoration pros document water damage for insurance?

Photos and video of the damage, moisture and thermal readings and notes describing the scope of work for the claim file.

What is the difference between water removal and structural drying?

Water removal takes out standing water. Structural drying then removes moisture absorbed into drywall and wood with air movers and dehumidifiers.

How quickly should water extraction begin after a flood?

As soon as it is safe. Standing water speeds up damage, and mold can start within 24 to 48 hours.
