Mold is the biggest concern that homeowners have after a flood. If the home is not dried out within 24 to 36 hours after the flood mold will start to grow. Mold can get under floors, behind baseboards, all the way into the drywall. Even if there is only an inch or two of water in the home the walls may be need to be knocked out entirely to get rid of mold once it starts to grow. And once it starts growing it spreads fast throughout the building.
