Flood damage can be overwhelming. Whether caused by storms, burst pipes, or plumbing issues, water intrusion can devastate a property both structurally and financially.

Our technicians inspect the extent of water intrusion, determine contamination levels (clean water, gray water, or black water), and identify affected materials. A clear plan is established to safely remove water and begin structural drying—all of which will be communicated with you for your peace of mind.
Once the assessment is complete, it’s time for rapid water removal. Using professional-grade pumps, vacuums, and dehumidifiers, our team extracts standing water and dries affected areas. This process may take several days depending on the severity, but it is critical to prevent structural issues and mold growth.
After water extraction and drying, we thoroughly clean and sanitize all affected surfaces. Contaminated materials that cannot be salvaged are removed, while structural components and personal belongings are treated with antimicrobial solutions. Repairs and restoration are then carried out to return your property to pre-flood condition.

In most cases, the water damage cleanup process takes roughly 1 to 2 weeks to complete, while the full reconstruction phase can range from 1 to 4 months. The exact timeline depends on factors such as the extent of the damage, the materials affected, and how quickly mitigation begins. Keep in mind this is only a general estimate, as every water damage situation is unique and may require more or less time to fully restore.
Mold can start developing as soon as 24 to 48 hours after water exposure, even if you don’t see any visible signs right away. In some cases, noticeable mold colonies may take 2 to 3 weeks or longer to appear. The growth rate depends on several conditions, including humidity levels, temperature (typically between 60–80°F), and the availability of organic materials like drywall, wood, or fabric, which provide nutrients for mold spores to thrive.
Mold exposure can cause symptoms within hours or take weeks to develop, depending on a person’s sensitivity and the amount of exposure. Individuals with asthma, allergies, or weakened immune systems are more likely to experience immediate effects such as coughing, sneezing, or breathing difficulties. Others may notice delayed or milder reactions over time, ranging from skin irritation to chronic sinus issues.
Here’s a real example of how our team turned around a flood-damaged home. After extensive water damage ruined drywall and carpeting, Pinnacle’s team worked for seven straight days to bring the property back to life. The results speak for themselves.
