Why speed matters
According to the EPA, drying wet materials within 24–48 hours can help prevent mold growth. Frozen pipes in Erie winters, roof leaks, appliance failures and basement flooding are common causes.
What to do now
- Stop the water source if safe to do so.
- Remove standing water and run fans/dehumidifiers.
- Photograph damage for insurance.
- Get a pro to check for hidden moisture behind walls and under floors.
Common questions
Does homeowners insurance cover mold?
It depends on your policy and the cause. Sudden events like burst pipes are more often covered than long-term leaks. Check with your insurer.
How quickly can mold grow after a leak?
The EPA notes mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours on wet materials.
