What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. In Eyota, prompt extraction and cavity airflow reduce the time drywall and insulation remain damp. Dry conditions are confirmed with measurements of the affected materials. A room that merely feels comfortable can still contain a damp joist bay, so the crew checks the cavity before finish work.
- Stop using the upstairs fixture and close a safe shutoff if water is still flowing.
- Keep people clear of a sagging ceiling and any wet electrical fixture.
- Move dry belongings away from the drip without standing under damaged board.
- Take photos of the stain and wet contents before moving them when safe.
- Call a plumber for the source and call 24/7 for extraction and drying.
