How soon should I call after a flood?
Call as soon as it is safe. Mold growth can begin within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials in Columbia homes.
Can residents stay during flood remediation?
It depends on the affected area. Technicians establish containment to isolate the work zone from living spaces.
