Piedmont Restoration Pros is an independent homeowner information and referral guide. We are not a restoration contractor, mold remediator, or insurance adjuster, and we do not perform restoration work. If you request help, we may connect you with restoration providers serving your area.
Water damage gets worse the longer it sits. Standing water spreads, drywall and flooring absorb moisture, and mold can begin to develop within roughly 24–48 hours. Acting quickly — and reaching a qualified restoration provider sooner — helps limit the damage.

Restoration providers handle several kinds of work. Here is what each type usually involves.
Emergency water extraction, structural drying, and moisture monitoring. Providers remove standing water and dry the structure to limit further damage.
Remediation after storm flooding, rising water, or sewage backups, including cleanup and sanitization.
Inspection, testing, and removal. Look for providers who address the moisture source, not just visible mold.
Smoke and soot removal, odor treatment, and structural repair after a fire.
Response to wind, hail, and storm-related water intrusion.
Many restoration providers work directly with your insurer. Our Insurance guide explains what to expect.
