Frequently Asked Questions - MoldRX

Question 1

Can't I just dry everything out myself with fans and a dehumidifier?

Accepted Answer

Consumer equipment can't remove moisture trapped inside walls, subfloors, and other structural materials. Without commercial extraction equipment, industrial dehumidifiers, and moisture monitoring tools, you won't know if materials are truly dry—and hidden moisture leads to mold growth and structural damage. Our water damage restoration professionals use specialized equipment to dry your property completely, then verify everything has reached safe moisture levels before the job is complete. Lear

Question 2

How quickly do I need to act after water damage occurs?

Accepted Answer

The first 24-48 hours are critical. Within 24 hours, water begins soaking into porous materials like drywall, insulation, and subfloors. Within 48 hours, mold growth typically begins. The faster you start professional water damage restoration extraction and drying, the less damage occurs and the lower your restoration costs will be.

Question 3

Will my insurance cover water damage restoration?

Accepted Answer

Coverage depends on your policy and the cause of the damage. Most homeowners policies cover sudden and accidental water damage—like burst pipes or appliance failures—but not damage from gradual leaks or lack of maintenance. Our water damage restoration specialists document everything thoroughly to support your claim, and they can work directly with your insurance adjuster if needed.
