Introduction
When water floods your South Florida home or business—whether from a Category 3 hurricane, a burst pipe, or a silent AC leak—the clock starts ticking. In 90% humidity, mold can colonize in under 24 hours, and structural rot begins in 48. Water mitigation is the urgent, science-driven process that stops damage cold: extracting water, drying thoroughly, and preventing mold before it starts.
