Why timing matters

The first 24 to 48 hours

Water keeps soaking into floors, walls and furniture until it is removed and the materials are dried. That is why it pays to call early.

“It is important to dry water-damaged areas and items within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth.”

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture and Your Home (opens in a new tab)

EPA also notes that mold may have grown even on materials dried within 48 hours, and that the 24-48 hour window is only a guideline. Its drying guidelines are for clean water (EPA mold remediation guide (opens in a new tab)). That is why we never make promises about mold.

After the water

From a wet basement to a finished room

Once the structure is dry, the cut walls and lifted floors go back in. If you want more than a repair, we can remodel while the walls are open.

FAQ

Questions people ask us first

What should I do first if water is coming in?

Stay safe first. If you smell gas or see sparks or smoke, leave the house and call 911 from outside. Stay out of standing water and away from wet outlets, cords and appliances. Do not touch the electrical panel if water is or may have been near it. Stay clear and contact your power company or a qualified electrician. If a pipe burst and you can reach the main water valve without stepping into water, shut it off. Then call us at (443) 690-9266.

How fast can water damage turn into mold?

EPA says (opens in a new tab): “It is important to dry water-damaged areas and items within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth.” EPA also notes that mold may have grown even on materials dried within 48 hours, and that the 24-48 hour window is only a guideline. That is why we never make promises about mold.
