Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Damage Restoration

How long do structural drying services take?

Often several days, depending on the materials, how long they were wet and how much water there was.

Why is quick action so important for water damage?

Materials soak up more water every hour, and mold becomes more likely after a day or two.

Is sewage backup cleanup a health hazard?

Yes. Sewage carries bacteria and contaminants, so cleanup needs protective gear, containment and disinfection.

When is removal of mold needed after water damage?

When materials stayed wet long enough for mold to appear. Fast drying usually prevents it.

How quickly should flood damage cleanup begin?

Right away. Floodwater soaks deeper and spreads contamination the longer it sits, and mold can start within days.
