How Water Softener Leak Cleanup Works in Steward

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials, especially where air cannot reach a damp surface. The crew removes free water first, then checks wall bottoms and flooring layers that may still hold moisture. Readings from those locations shape the drying setup and show whether hidden dampness continues after the visible spill is gone.
