Water Removal Timeframes
When a water emergency is incurred due to flooding, it typically takes anywhere between 1 and 3 hours to remove the water (depending on size and amount of water present).
After water removal, dehumidification is essential to properly dry out the impacted areas to prevent mold growth, which can begin growing in less than 24 hours after water intrusion.
To dehumidify and dry out an area completely, Gforce Restoration will place and monitor as many state of the art commercial dehumidifiers and air blowers as needed at your property – typically for two to four days.
