As drying finishes, surfaces are treated to slow mold growth. Any existing mold is removed under containment.

A clogged toilet or a tub left running can send gallons of water across floors and into the rooms nearby.

Yes. Water trapped in walls or subfloor from a small leak can still cause mold and rot.
