Water Damage and Flood Cleanup
Water extraction services are crucial in mitigating the damage caused by water intrusion due to floods or other emergencies. These services involve removing excess water from affected areas to prevent further damage to property and infrastructure.
How Long to Run Fans After Water Damage?
After water damage occurs, it is essential to remove excess moisture from the affected area. Running fans can help accelerate the drying process and prevent mold growth. The duration for which fans should be operated depends on the extent of the water damage:
- Minor Water Damage: For small spills or leaks, running fans for 24-48 hours may be sufficient.
- Moderate Water Damage: When water has penetrated walls or flooring, fans should be run continuously for 3-5 days.
- Severe Water Damage: In cases of significant water intrusion, fans may need to operate for over a week or until the area is completely dry.
