After a water pipe bursts or your basement floods, you may be wondering how long you’ve got before mold starts to grow. It depends on the type of water introduced and the humidity level in your home. When dealing with clean water from a broken pipe, you may have a little more time to dry things. However, if the water is from an outside source, like a flood, it may be contaminated with bacteria.
