Emergency Water Damage Restoration in Alabama

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.

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.

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.
