Mold afterwater damage
Mold can start growing within a day or two of a leak or flood. Fast drying prevents it; proper remediation removes it once it starts.
DOSH
Act fast
When building materials stay wet, mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours. Drywall, insulation, carpet and wood that stay damp become a food source, especially in walls and under floors where they can't dry on their own.
Alliance holds IICRC Water Damage Restoration certification and handles the hazmat side when water damage involves sewage or contaminated water. If mold has already started, we contain, remove and treat it, and fix the moisture source.
