Mold spreads swiftly and silently, but many homeowners don’t know how long cleanup will take. At NexPhase Restoration, we see mold cases from tiny bathroom patches to hidden wall infestations—especially in humid or water-damaged areas of Los Angeles County. Here's a realistic timeline to help you plan your next steps.
● Factors That Influence Time:
Extent of contamination, materials involved, moisture levels, accessibility, and indoor humidity.
● Typical Timeline:
○ Inspection & Setup:
2–4 hours — moisture mapping, containment, and safety
○ Removal & Cleaning:
1–2 days for small areas; up to a week+ for moderate spreads.
○ Drying & Monitoring:
Another 1–3 days depending on humidity and drying setup.
○ Restoration:
Patching drywall, repainting, and deodorizing can take 2–4 days depending on job size.
● Why Rushing Isn’t Better:
Skipping steps or drying incorrectly traps mold spores in materials—leading to return. We only call it done when moisture readings confirm dryness and the air tests clean.
● Post-Remediation Tips:
Use fans or dehumidifiers in damp seasons. Maintain HVAC and check for hidden moisture sources.
