Water damage can happen unexpectedly—from a burst pipe, roof leak, or monsoon storm. But one of the biggest dangers that follows is mold growth, which can start spreading within just 24–48 hours if moisture isn’t addressed quickly. In Mesa, AZ, where warm temperatures and occasional humidity create the perfect conditions, preventing mold after water damage is essential.
At EzFix WD Restoration Mesa, we specialize in fast water damage restoration and mold prevention. Here’s what you should do right away if your home or business experiences water damage.
1. Remove Standing Water Immediately
The longer water sits, the more it seeps into walls, flooring, and furniture. Quick water extraction is the first line of defense against mold. Use a wet vacuum for small areas, but for major flooding, call a professional team to ensure all water is removed thoroughly.
2. Dry the Area Completely
Even after the water is gone, moisture can remain trapped in hidden spaces. Use high-powered fans, dehumidifiers, and open windows to improve airflow. Professionals use industrial-grade drying equipment to reach moisture in walls, subfloors, and other hard-to-reach areas.
3. Remove Damaged Materials
Carpets, drywall, and insulation can hold onto moisture and become breeding grounds for mold. If these materials are soaked, it’s often best to remove and replace them to prevent future contamination.
4. Clean and Disinfect Affected Surfaces
Mold spores thrive in damp, contaminated areas. Use antimicrobial cleaners to disinfect all surfaces after drying. Professional restoration teams use specialized solutions that kill bacteria and prevent mold from forming.
5. Inspect for Hidden Moisture
Mold often grows in hidden spots—behind walls, under flooring, or in ceiling cavities. Moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras can detect areas that still hold water, ensuring no moisture is left behind.
