Q: Is it safe to live in a house with water damage?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not safe to live in a house with water damage until a trained professional gives you the all-clear to return. Mold can grow within one to two days after water damage and weaken your home&rsquo;s structural integrity. Always have your home inspected after water damage to ensure it&rsquo;s safe to live in.</p></div>

Q: How can I prevent mold after water damage?

• <div><p>Mold and other fungi love moisture, so the best way to prevent <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-steps-prevent-carpet-mold-after-water-damage.htm">mold growth after water damage</a> is to remove as much moisture as possible. First, find the source of the water or moisture, such as a leak or clogged gutters, and correct the problem. Next, remove standing water, vacuum up puddles with a shop vacuum, and run blower fans and dehumidifiers for 24 to 72 hours. Once you've removed all traces of moisture, disinfect the area using either vinegar or bleach to kill any remaining mold spores.</p></div>

Q: What should I consider when cleaning my crawl space?

• <div><p>Make sure you're calling in the right expert to help repair and/or clean your crawl space. A serious issue may require multiple experts that include a <a href="https://www.angi.com/companylist/mold-testing-and-remediation.htm">local mold remediation pro</a>, an HVAC pro, a foundation pro, and a plumber. You should also consider using a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/junk-removal/">nearby junk removal service</a> to avoid handling debris that could be covered in mold, fungi, rot, or asbestos.</p></div>

Q: How many weep holes do you need?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not the number of weep holes that should be of concern to builders but rather their spacing. Weep holes are usually spaced anywhere between 16 inches on center when using round tubes or wicking materials and 24 inches on center when using open-head joints. This is a more conservative spacing than the 33-inch maximum spacing on center that&rsquo;s mentioned in the International Residential Code. All in all, the total number of weep holes a brick exterior should have will depend on the size of the structure.</p></div>

Q: Is it okay if it rains on underlayment?

• <div><p>As the first layer of water protection for your roof deck and the building materials below, underlayment is designed to prevent water damage, so it&rsquo;s okay if it gets wet. However, you shouldn&rsquo;t rely solely on underlayment for protection. If rain interrupts your roof project and you have all of the underlayment down, you&rsquo;ll likely be fine, but you should install shingles over that layer as soon as possible, as long-term exposure can lead to water damage.</p></div>

Showed up on time. Worked like maniacs, I would never have guessed that much heavy hard work could be done in only two days. The crew was very professional, polite and considerate. Left the basement looking as clean as it was when they got there. During and after pics attached. I didn't have a...

The workers from B-Dry did a really good job. They did the work and did it well. They were on time and they went to work. They came right out after I called them up.

After month of attempted contact based on the suggestion of my realtor, finally set a service date which he never showed up for and continues to defer communication. Don't waste your time with this flake.

They jackhammered in from the inside down to the foundations and put a trough in. They put the sub pump in and gave us a backup incase the power went out. I was glad I did it this way. It does take a lot of preparation to seal everything with plastic because the dust with get through the...

Extremely nice and punctual. The estimate was a great price, however, I used another company only because I only had a portion of the basement done.
