The First 60 Minutes Matter Most
The actions you take in the first hour after property damage can significantly affect the total restoration cost and outcome. Water damage escalates from Category 1 (clean) to Category 3 (contaminated) within 48 hours. Mould can begin colonising within 24 hours in humid conditions. Fire soot becomes permanently bonded to surfaces if not treated quickly.
Our emergency guides walk you through the critical first steps for every type of disaster — whether it happens at 2am on a Tuesday or during a Christmas Day family gathering. Every guide includes safety priorities, documentation tips for insurance, and how to reach IICRC-certified emergency responders.
