Drying a home or business is simply a matter of providing the proper amount of fast air movement to force the moisture out of the flooring, walls, ceiling. This moisture is then removed by large commercial dehumidifiers that collect the moisture and pumps it into your drain. Antimicrobials are applied to kill and prevent mold/mildew. This drying process usually takes 3-4 days to complete.

There is a 24 hour grace period before the mold and mildew will begin to use your carpet and carpet padding as a food source. After 48 hours, the carpet is only salvageable 50% of the time. After 72 hours, the carpet is no longer salvageable and mold has most likely started to grow inside the walls and other dark areas that have gotten wet.

Many customers are confused about the procedure for drying out a home. Most think that just by tearing out the carpet they have solved the problem and saved having to call a professional for carpet water extraction. This misconception couldn’t be further from the truth. There is still an excessive amount of moisture present that will provide a breeding ground for mold if left unattended.
