Good to know
Flood & Storm Mold Cleanup in New Bedford, MA: common questions
How quickly should I call after a storm flood?
Call as soon as it is safe. Mold can begin growing on wet material within 24 to 48 hours in Buzzards Bay's climate.

Does homeowners insurance cover storm related mold?

The moisture source is fixed first, not just the mold, then the structure is dried and rechecked. That is what keeps mold from returning to a New Bedford home.
