Water extraction takes a few hours, but the drying phase usually lasts between 3 to 5 days depending on the severity of the flood and the materials affected. We monitor moisture levels daily to ensure your property is completely dry.

Bleach only kills surface mold on non-porous materials. On porous surfaces like drywall or wood, bleach does not reach the roots, and the water in bleach can actually feed the mold. True mold remediation requires professional antimicrobial treatments and removal of the affected materials.
