3. Do not enter potentially contaminated water.
4. Photograph and document the damage.

🦠 Water Damage & Mold

Persistent moisture can create conditions favorable to microbial growth. Restoration companies may offer moisture assessment, drying and mold-related remediation services.

• Identify and correct the moisture source.
• Dry affected materials appropriately.
• Evaluate materials that cannot be adequately dried.
• Use containment where appropriate.
• Follow applicable professional and regulatory guidance.

🌬 Why Structural Drying Matters

Surface appearance alone does not always show whether building materials are dry. Water can migrate behind walls, under flooring and into insulation or other concealed spaces.

• Air movers
• Dehumidifiers
• Moisture monitoring
• Documentation of drying progress
