FAQs

Water Damage Restoration FAQ — New Jersey

Mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours on wet organic materials (drywall, wood, carpet). You need extraction and drying equipment running within 24 hours for any significant water intrusion. Document everything with photos and video first — this is critical for insurance claims. Then call a water damage restoration company, not a general contractor.

You're not required to use your insurance company's preferred contractor. Insurance-referred contractors work for the insurer's interests, not yours. You have the right to get your own estimates. However, document all damage thoroughly before any restoration starts, and make sure any contractor you choose works with insurance claims and can provide a detailed scope of work for reimbursement.

Drywall that has been wet for more than 48 hours is typically not salvageable — it loses structural integrity and harbors mold. Cutting out wet drywall and replacing it is standard practice and the right call. Be more concerned if a company DOESN'T recommend removing wet drywall — that's the shortcut that causes mold problems 6 months later.

Structural drying (studs, subfloor, concrete) requires sustained airflow and dehumidification. Professional equipment removes moisture much faster than consumer fans, but drying still takes 3–5 days for most water losses. The drying progress is measured daily with moisture meters — don't let them remove equipment until readings confirm target moisture levels.

Standard homeowner's policies cover sudden water events (burst pipe, appliance failure) but exclude gradual damage (slow leak that built up over weeks or months). If your claim is denied, review the policy language carefully, ask the insurer to identify the specific exclusion, and consider hiring a public adjuster to review the claim. Some denied claims are successfully appealed.

Ask for any restoration certificates (IICRC-certified contractors provide these), review the disclosure statements carefully, and hire a licensed home inspector who includes moisture testing. During inspection, check basement walls for efflorescence (white mineral deposits), musty odors, and any freshly painted or patched areas in basements that might hide staining.
