In just a few minutes, water has the power to ruin furniture, cardboard storage boxes, and their
contents. Within a few hours, swelling and warping of drywall and flooring becomes evident. In
as little as 48 hours, you will notice the development of a musty odor, and the presence of mold
spores becomes visible. Water can also speed up the corrosion of metal appliances and objects.
Understanding the urgency and taking immediate action is key to preventing further damage
caused by water intrusion.
