Extraction takes hours and drying often takes several days. Repairs depend on how much flooring or drywall was removed.

How do I know if I need a moisture inspection?
If water reached carpet, walls or the unit below, or a musty smell remains after cleanup, an inspection will find hidden moisture.

Stopping the source, pumping standing water, extracting carpet and hard floors, then checking walls and subfloors with meters and drying what is still wet.
