Standing water near panels, outlets, and appliances is an electrocution hazard. Crews assess and isolate power before extraction begins.
Kitchen and bath cabinetry traps water against subfloor and wall. Toe kicks often have to come out to dry what's underneath.
Surface drying is not drying. We meter behind baseboards and inside cavities before signing off, because trapped moisture is what turns a water loss into a mold claim.
Category 3 water needs biohazard handling, not a wet vac. We contain the area, remove unsalvageable porous material, and disinfect to standard.

Usually, if drying starts quickly. Mold needs sustained moisture, so the difference between a drying job and a remediation job is often just how many hours the water sat.
Most residential losses dry in three to five days once equipment is running, though heavily saturated framing or hardwood can take longer. We track readings daily rather than working to a fixed schedule.
Cost depends on how much of the structure got wet, the category of water involved, and how long it sat. We give a written estimate after inspection; on covered losses your out-of-pocket is usually your deductible.
