Mold After Water Damage

Water damage and mold are closely linked. Drying the visible water is only the first step — hidden moisture inside walls and floors can support mold growth for weeks.

First 48 Hours

Extract standing water, run fans and dehumidifiers, document everything for insurance.

Days 3–7

Schedule a professional moisture and mold assessment to identify hidden wet areas.

Days 7–30

Re-inspect once drying is complete; consider air sampling to confirm no airborne contamination.
