The First 24 Hours After Damage; How Critical Are They?

4/5/2021 (Permalink)

Act fast. The first 24 hours after fire or water damage are critical.

Water or fire losses, even smaller incidents, can result in costly claims over time.  The longer smoke, soot, or moisture have to permeate contents and structural components, the more secondary damage can occur.

Experience has shown that quick, appropriate action delivered within the first 24 hours after damage can dramatically reduce secondary damage.  Smoke and soot have less time to chemically interact and damage or destroy contents, and moisture is prevented from spreading and breaking down structural components or promoting the growth of mold and mildew.
