How quickly should I call after a flood?
Call as soon as safely possible. Mold growth can begin within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials.
Can residents stay home during the flood cleanup?

Does homeowners insurance cover storm-related mold damage?
Coverage varies by policy. The remediation includes thorough documentation to support the insurance claim process.
