Water Damage Restoration
& Mold Remediation in NJ

Minimal Damage: 24 to 48 hours

For small leaks or mild flooding, restoration usually takes 24 to 48 hours. Quick drying, reducing humidity, and water removal are all part of this process. Mold development is less likely with a faster response.

If materials such as drywall or carpets are impacted, they might need to be replaced to avoid contamination.

Moderate Damage: 3-5 Days

Moderate damage includes larger leaks, burst pipes, or water penetration affecting multiple rooms. Depending on the water and materials involved, drying may take 3-5 days. Wood flooring, drywall, and insulation require thorough drying and monitoring to prevent mold and long-term structural damage.

Severe Flooding & Mold Issues: 7+ Days

Significant water damage from flooding, drainage backups, or major leaks can take at least seven days for mold removal, drying, and water extraction. In extreme cases, reconstruction of parts of the house, including insulation, drywall, and flooring, may be necessary. Proper management of mold growth is crucial for maintaining safe living conditions.

Studies show that water damage left untreated for over 48 hours increases restoration costs by up to 50%. Fast action saves time and money!
