Question 1

If a flood occurs in my home, what's the best time to call a water damage professional?

Can flood lead to mold?

Accepted Answer

Very much likely! Mold can grow as quickly as 24-48 hours following water damage, if left untreated. When you call a water damage professional, they will assess the damage and begin the remediation process as soon as possible.

Question 4

How long does water damage clean-up take?

Our technicians work hard and try their best to get things fixed as soon as possible and efficiently. They use state-of-the-art drying machines that help with the drying process. This usually varies from project to project and on how long it has been since water damage.

Question 5

What are the state-of-the-art drying machines used by your company?

Accepted Answer

Usually, we make use of dehumidifiers and air movers in your home which helps in the drying process. The machinery we use depends on the kind of flood you experienced. If it requires desiccant or air intake machines to dry out the extremely saturated or hard-to-reach areas, we will make use of that accordingly.

Question 6

Will I be able to stay in my home during the restoration process?

Accepted Answer

This varies from project to project. It might be possible that only one room was affected or the entire house. If it is just one room or a couple of rooms, then you can stay in your home in the place where there is no water or flood damage. However, if the entire house has been affected due to heavy flooding, then you may have to live elsewhere while we repair the damage.
