Water damage questions
- How fast can water damage cause mold?
- In Charleston's humidity, mold can begin colonizing within about 48 hours of water exposure. That window is why we prioritize fast extraction and structural drying. The sooner everything is dry and verified, the lower the chance mold ever takes hold.
- Will my insurance cover it?
- Sudden, accidental water damage (a burst pipe, an overflow, a storm intrusion) is typically covered, while slow, long-term leaks often are not. We document the loss thoroughly, with photos, moisture readings, and a scoped report, so your adjuster has what they need, and we bill the carrier directly.
- Do I have to move out during drying?
- Usually not. Most residential dry-outs run with equipment in place for a few days while you stay home. If the affected area or contamination level makes that unsafe, we'll tell you plainly and help you plan around it.
