Below are the most frequently asked questions homeowners have about water and mold damage restoration in Southwest Florida.

1. What should I do first if my home has a flood or water damage?

The first step is always safety—make sure electricity is off and avoid standing water. Next, call a professional restoration company like First Response Water & Mold. We’ll arrive within 30 minutes, assess the damage, and begin immediate water extraction to prevent further damage and mold growth.

2. How fast can mold grow after water damage?

Mold can begin developing within 24–48 hours of water exposure, especially in Florida’s hot, humid climate. That’s why our 24/7 emergency team responds immediately to stop water at the source and begin drying and remediation before mold spreads.

3. Does insurance cover water or mold damage?

In many cases, yes. Most homeowners’ insurance policies cover sudden water damage (burst pipes, appliance leaks, storm-related water intrusion) and related mold remediation. Our team works directly with your insurance company to make the claims process easier, so you can focus on getting life back to normal.
