Can flood lead to mold?

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.

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

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.

This varies from project to project. It might be possible that only one room was affected or the entire house.

WATER DAMAGE FAQS

Straightforward Answers to Urgent Questions

Water intrusion can cause hidden damage fast. Below are the questions most homeowners ask when facing water emergencies — get clarity, know what to expect, and act confidently.

What are common sources of water damage?

Broken pipe, roof leaks, appliance failures, storms, and poor drainage are top causes. Even a small leak left untreated can lead to structural damage and mold growth.

How fast should you respond to water damage?

Within minutes. The longer water sits, the more it spreads and infiltrates materials. Fast extraction and drying (within 24-48 hours) is critical to reducing repair costs.

Can water damage lead to mold?

Yes. Moisture trapped in drywall, wood, insulation, or flooring invites mold growth. Professionals use dryers and dehumidifiers to remove excess moisture and reduce mold risk.

Will insurance cover water restoration?

Many policies cover sudden and accidental water damage (like burst pipes). But gradual leaks or neglected maintenance may be excluded. Restoration pros can help document damage and guide your claim.

How long does restoration take?

Duration depends on severity, area affected, and materials involved. Small jobs may finish in 1–2 days. Larger ones requiring reconstruction or full replacement may take a week or more.
