Is water damage restoration in Gastonia, NC covered by insurance?

How long does the drying process take in Gastonia, NC?
For most residential water damage events in Gastonia, NC, the structural drying phase takes between 3 and 5 days, monitored with daily moisture readings to confirm progress toward target dryness levels. Larger events, commercial properties, or cases with significant structural saturation can take longer — sometimes 7 to 10 days. The total project timeline including reconstruction depends on the scope of damage. We give you a realistic timeline estimate during the initial assessment so you know what to expect.
What should I do immediately after water damage in Gastonia, NC?
Call us first, then document with photos while waiting for arrival. Turn off the water source at the shutoff valve if the leak is from plumbing. Don't use household fans — they move surface air but don't dry building materials, and they can spread airborne mold spores if mold is present. Our crew will take over the full process from the moment they arrive.
Do you handle mold as part of water damage restoration in Gastonia, NC?
We screen for mold on every job in Gastonia, NC as part of our standard moisture assessment.
