Flood water changes the timeline. Mold can begin growing on wet building materials within a day or two, so post flood mold remediation focuses on getting soaked materials out and drying the structure before growth takes hold, or removing growth that has already started.
The Problem Behind Post Flood Mold Remediation
Storm water and sewage backups bring contamination along with moisture. Drywall, insulation, carpet pad and particle board absorb that water and often cannot be saved. Walls may need to be cut above the water line. Waiting for materials to dry on their own usually means mold is already present when work finally begins.
