IICRC-certified mitigation · licensed & insured · one team from emergency to rebuild

The damage clock, hour by hour.

This is why restoration pros treat water like a fire that moves slowly.

MINUTES 0–60

Spread

Water migrates through flooring, drywall and wall cavities. Finishes absorb. What's wet doubles. Action now saves materials that are unsalvageable tomorrow.

HOURS 1–24

Absorption

Drywall wicks water upward, wood begins to swell, metal surfaces tarnish. Odor starts. Contents in contact with water degrade fast.

HOURS 24–48

Mold risk begins

Per the EPA, mold can begin growing on wet materials within 24–48 hours. Drying that starts late doesn't just cost more — it changes the whole scope.

48 HOURS +

Escalation

Possible contamination category changes, structural concerns and remediation scopes. What began as extraction becomes demolition.

While we're on the way: the first-hour checklist.

01Stop the source if you safely can. Water shut-off valve, appliance supply line, or the main. Don't touch electrical panels standing in water.
02Kill power to affected areas — only if the panel is dry and safely reachable.
03Photograph everything before you move it. Wide shots, close-ups, standing water. Documentation decides claims.
04Move what matters. Electronics, documents, rugs and furniture up and out of the wet zone.
05Don't run fans into suspected sewage or mold. The wrong airflow spreads contamination.
06Call your insurance carrier after you call mitigation — the clock matters more than the order of paperwork.

Checklist guidance is general and safety-first — never enter standing water near electrical sources, never handle suspected sewage or asbestos-containing materials, and follow instructions from emergency services. Mold timing reference: U.S. EPA (growth can begin within 24–48 hours on wet materials). Insurance outcomes are decided by your carrier and policy; Movara provides professional documentation but does not control coverage decisions.
