Emergency Water Damage Restoration in Hundred, WV

It depends on the category of water (clean vs. contaminated) and how long it has been sitting. If addressed quickly, we can often save hardwood floors using specialized drying mats and extract water from carpets to prevent permanent damage.

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.

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.

If the water is from a clean source (like a broken pipe) and affects a small area, you can usually stay. However, if there is a sewage backup, severe mold remediation needed, or electrical hazards, our team at Prime Water Damage Restoration will advise you on whether temporary relocation is safer.
