Can Water Damage Lead to Mold Growth?

When water damage is not promptly and properly remedied, mold may grow in as little as 24-48 hours. molds reproduce by releasing spores which are carried by air currents to new areas. When these spores land on a moist surface suitable for life, they begin to grow. Mold requires moisture for growth so it is important to begin the remediation process as soon as possible after flooding has occurred.

Removing the moisture quickly will help to prevent mold from growing and will make the cleanup process easier. If you suspect that your property has water damage, it is important to contact a professional remediation company as soon as possible to assess the situation and begin the remediation process.

What to do When Water Damage Strikes?

  • Try to stop the flow of water immediately by shutting off the main valve
  • Move furniture to a safe, dry area
  • Begin removing whatever water you can
  • Remove area rugs (the dyes can stain the flooring material)
  • Do not plug in any electronics near the area - such as the wet vac
  • Be sure to wash your hands and clothes, as the water can contain harmful bacteria and sewage
  • Don't throw away anything of value until you speak with your insurance provider

How Long Does it Take to Restore a Home After Water Damage?

Restoring a home completely after water damage can take anywhere from several days to several weeks depending on how long the home was exposed to water.

Typically, there are two phases when it comes to the water damage restoration process: drying out the home and the restoration. Drying out a home can take 3 to 5 days, or a little longer (again depending on how long the home was exposed to water). The drying out process can only begin when the standing water has been completely removed from your home.

The restoration process is the part that takes the longest and may last a few weeks or more. At ServiceMaster Emergency Services our team of water damage specialists will always keep in touch to give you an update on the timeline and anything that may delay parts of the process.

During the restoration process, we will identify what can be salvaged and what cannot and discuss with the homeowner what changes may be made to the home. Typically, you and your family should be able to stay in the home during the restoration process, however, it also depends on the circumstances of the situation. At all times, we want to make sure that you and your family are safe.
