Why does 24-hour emergency response for flood damage matter in New Orleans? The longer that water sits and pools, the more hazardous it becomes. The timeline for the water damage is as follows:
- Within minutes of flooding – Water moves through the home, saturating building materials, carpeting, furnishings, and personal belongings.
- Within the first 24 hours – Musty odors may develop, drywall takes on water and breaks down, inks and dyes from particular contents can stain and spread, and wood furnishings may crack after swelling.
- Within 48 hours to a week – Important building elements like studs, windows, and doorframes warp. Mildew and mold colonize. Paint can bubble and peel while flooring warps and swells. At this time, severe contamination is possible.
- After a week – Structural integrity is highly questionable, mold has taken hold and the cost and time for restoration multiply. Replacing contaminated building materials or the need for total reconstruction is a real possibility.
