Frequently Asked Questions
Real questions from Northern California homeowners
How quickly must wet documents be treated?
Within 48 hours ideally. We can freeze documents to stop degradation if immediate treatment isn't possible. Mold begins growing on wet paper within 48-72 hours.
Can water-damaged photos be saved?
Often yes, especially if treated quickly. We carefully separate stuck photos, clean them, and dry using specialized techniques. Some photos can be digitally enhanced.
