Emergency Water Damage Restoration in Delaware

Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers must run continuously for several days to draw deep moisture out of drywall and framing. Turning them off early can leave hidden moisture that leads to structural rot and mold.

Water extraction takes a few hours, but the drying phase usually lasts between 3 to 5 days depending on the severity of the flood and the materials affected. We monitor moisture levels daily to ensure your property is completely dry.

Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers can be quite loud, similar to a large vacuum cleaner running continuously. While the noise can be disruptive, it is absolutely essential to run the equipment 24/7 to properly complete the structural drying phase.

Our mold remediation involves sealing off the affected area with plastic sheeting, establishing negative air pressure with HEPA scrubbers, safely removing contaminated materials, and applying antimicrobial treatments to prevent future growth.

First, if it's safe to do so, turn off the main water valve to stop the source of the flooding. Then, shut off electrical power to the affected areas. Finally, call Prime Water Damage Restoration for emergency water damage mitigation before the water causes structural issues.
