How Critical are the First 24 Hours?

The first 24 hours after a fire or water damage is critical

Fire or water losses, even smaller incidents, can result in costly claims over time.  The longer smoke, soot, or moisture have to permeate contents and structural components, the more secondary damage one can expect. 

Experience has shown that fast, appropriate action delivered within the first 24 hours can dramatically reduce secondary damage.  Smoke and soot have less time to chemically interact and damage or destroy contents, and moisture is prevented from spreading and breaking down structural components or promoting the growth of mold and mildew.
