The moisture source is stopped first, since mold returns if materials keep getting wet.
Storm Damage Repair
Storm damage is photographed before and during cleanup, which helps with the insurance claim and repair planning.

Common Emergency Damage Restoration Questions Answered
What is involved in emergency water extraction?
Stopping the water, making power safe, pumping and extracting standing water and starting drying.
How is hidden moisture found during an inspection?
Moisture meters and thermal cameras show water inside walls, under floors and above ceilings.
Can storm damage repair prevent future water problems?
Tarping roof openings and drying the inside limits damage. Permanent roof and window repairs prevent the next leak.
How long do structural drying services take?
Often several days, depending on the materials, how long they were wet and how much water there was.
How quickly should flood damage cleanup begin?
Right away. Floodwater soaks deeper and spreads contamination the longer it sits, and mold can start within days.
