Whether it's water, fire, or storm damage, how you respond in the first 48 hours can determine the success—or failure—of your restoration. At AIM Green Restoration, we’ve seen firsthand how fast action in Columbus homes can drastically reduce costs, damage, and recovery time.
Why Timing Matters:
- Water Damage: Mold can start growing within 24–48 hours. Quick extraction and drying are critical.

- Storm Damage: Openings in the roof or structure can lead to additional water infiltration and further deterioration.

- Avoid DIY cleanup—especially with contaminated water or structural concerns
