How do you prevent mold after water damage?

Mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours of water exposure. We apply antimicrobial treatments during the drying process and monitor moisture levels until the structure reaches safe thresholds (below 15% for wood, below 1% for concrete). We don't leave until readings confirm the space is dry.

What should I do while waiting for your crew to arrive?

If it's safe: turn off electricity to the affected area, stop the water source if you can identify it, move valuables to dry areas, and avoid walking through standing water (it may be contaminated). Don't try to use a household vacuum on water — it's a shock risk. We'll handle everything else when we arrive.
