Why Speed Matters
Time is the enemy of mitigation. Porous materials begin to degrade and harbor dangerous pathogens within hours.
Structural
- Drywall: Wicks water 12"+ above visible line rapidly.
- Subfloor: Warps and grows mold within 48 hours if not dried.
- Insulation: Loses efficiency and holds moisture indefinitely.
Flooring
- Hardwood: Cups and crowns rapidly; requires specialized drying.
- Laminate: Delaminates and swells; often requires replacement.
- Tile Grout: Harbors mold beneath surface if water remains.
Contents
- Cabinets: Particle board swells immediately and cannot be repaired.
- HVAC Ducts: Spread smoke, mold, and sewage particles.
- Personal Items: 48-hour window for professional content drying.
ℹ INFO: Per EPA guidelines: porous materials exposed to Category 3 water (sewage) must be removed entirely. Even clean water can become hazardous after 48 hours without professional drying.
