- Is time a factor?

On any flood time is a major factor. The longer water sits the more destructive it becomes. The S-500 which all restoration companies must follow says on a flood if water is not dried or cleaned up within three days tear out or rip out must occur. This means if you go past the three day period before attempting to dry out any affected area or material then the affected material would have to be torn out, cut out, and or replaced. Time is the most important factor when dealing with flooded area in your home or business. It is wisest to take steps right away and not wait around before beginning the drying process.
