What Wet Carpet Flood Cleanup Includes in Hebron

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Prompt extraction reduces the time water remains inside floors and walls. The crew also checks absorbent layers below the surface.
- Carpet touched by sewage or outdoor floodwater needs different handling from a clean supply leak.
- If the source is plumbing, shut off the supply valve when it is safe to reach.
- Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
- Move dry belongings out of the water path when safe.
- Photograph visible water and damaged belongings before moving them.
