Should I be worried about mold after water damage in Bay Saint Louis, MS?

Under warm, humid conditions, mold colonies can establish in wet drywall or wood within 24 to 72 hours.

Is there anything I should do before the Bay Saint Louis crew arrives?
+
Call us first, then turn off the water source if accessible and safe. Move at-risk items out of the wet area if safe to do so.

Then let our Bay Saint Louis crew handle the rest — we'll be there promptly.
