How long does the drying process take in Dayton, OH?

The total project timeline including reconstruction depends on the scope of damage. We give you a realistic timeline estimate during the initial assessment so you know what to expect.
What should I do immediately after water damage in Dayton, OH?
Call us first, then document with photos while waiting for arrival. Turn off the water source at the shutoff valve if the leak is from plumbing. Don't use household fans β they move surface air but don't dry building materials, and they can spread airborne mold spores if mold is present. Our crew will take over the full process from the moment they arrive.

We screen for mold on every job in Dayton, OH as part of our standard moisture assessment.

When it isn't present, our drying process and antimicrobial treatments are designed to prevent it from developing.
