Mold Starts With Water

Mold grows when building materials stay wet. After a flood, a slow leak or water damage that was not dried properly, mold can start within 24 to 48 hours inside walls, under floors and in basements.

Select Restoration has been in the water damage business for more than 30 years. When mold is found or suspected, we coordinate testing and remediation with a qualified partner, fix the moisture source, dry the structure and rebuild what was removed.

That way you have one point of contact from the first call to the finished repair.

IICRC Certified Firm #70014686

We Follow the ANSI/IICRC S500 Water Damage Standard

ANSI/IICRC S500 is the standard for professional water damage restoration. It spells out how a water loss should be assessed, how water is extracted, how the structure is dried and how moisture is monitored until the job is truly done. Select Restoration is an IICRC Certified Firm, our technicians are IICRC certified, and we follow S500 on every mold after water damage job.

IICRC Certified Firm badge

Certified Firm #70014686
Category & class first
We identify the water category (1 clean, 2 gray, 3 black water like sewage or flood water) and the class of the loss. That decides what can be dried in place and what has to be removed.
Safety and contamination
Category 2 and 3 water gets the protective equipment, removal of contaminated porous materials and cleaning the standard calls for.
Extraction before drying
Removing as much water as possible first shortens drying time and saves more of your home.
A drying plan by the numbers
Dehumidifiers and air movers are sized to the space, and we track temperature and humidity to keep drying on pace.
Daily moisture monitoring
We measure the structure every day and compare it to dry, unaffected materials. Equipment stays until the drying goal is met.
Hidden moisture found
Moisture meters and thermal imaging find water behind walls, under floors and in ceilings, so nothing wet gets closed back up.
Mold prevention
Fast, verified drying is the best protection against mold. Where the standard calls for it, affected areas are cleaned and treated.
Documentation insurers recognize
Readings, photos and notes are logged in a way insurance carriers and adjusters recognize.

Why Certification Makes a Difference

Not every water damage company follows the standard. Some pull equipment as soon as the carpet feels dry, guess instead of measuring, or leave wet drywall and framing behind the walls, which is how odors and mold show up months later.

To be an IICRC Certified Firm, a company must employ IICRC-certified technicians, carry liability insurance, keep a written complaint policy and follow the IICRC code of ethics, and our technicians keep their certifications current with continuing education. Learn more at iicrc.org.
