How do I know when it's finished?

How do I know when the remediation or cleanup is finished? You must have completely fixed the water or moisture problem before the cleanup or remediation can be considered finished. ¦ ­You should have completed mold removal. Visible mold and moldy odors should not be present. Please note that mold may cause staining and cosmetic damage. ¦ ­You should have revisited the site(s) shortly after cleanup and it should show no signs of water damage or mold growth. ¦ ­People should have been able to occupy or re-occupy the area without health complaints or physical symptoms. ¦ ­Ultimately, this is a judgment call; there is no easy answer. When water leaks or spills occur indoors - ACT QUICKLY. If wet or damp materials or areas are dried 24-48 hours after a leak or spill happens, in most cases mold will not grow. Clean and repair roof gutters regularly. ¦ Make sure the ground slopes away from the building foundation, so that water does not enter or collect around the foundation
