Water Extraction Services Understanding Water Damage and Flood Cleanup

Water Damage and Flood Cleanup

Water damage, whether caused by a natural disaster or a household accident, requires prompt and professional attention to prevent further damage and protect your health. Water Extraction Services offer comprehensive solutions for water damage cleanup and restoration.

How long to run fans after water damage?

After water damage occurs, it’s crucial to remove excess moisture effectively. Fans play a vital role in this process by circulating air and promoting evaporation. The duration of fan operation depends on several factors, including:

Extent and severity of damage: More extensive damage requires longer fan operation to dry out affected areas thoroughly.
Temperature and humidity levels: Higher temperatures and lower humidity facilitate drying, allowing for shorter fan usage.
Type of materials affected: Porous materials like carpets and drywall require longer drying times than non-porous surfaces.

As a general guideline, it’s recommended to run fans continuously for 24-48 hours after water damage occurs. However, it’s essential to assess the situation and adjust the fan schedule accordingly. If moisture persists after this period, continued fan operation may be necessary until the affected areas are completely dry.
