Is emergency water damage response the same as mold remediation?
They are related but distinct. Emergency response stops and dries water quickly. If growth already exists, the job transitions into S520 remediation.
Is insurance coordination handled directly?

What should be done before the crew arrives?
If safe, shut off the water and move belongings off wet flooring. Avoid standing water near electrical sources. Leave wet drywall and carpet in place for the crew.

Quick drying significantly reduces the likelihood, though hidden areas like wall cavities that were wet prior to discovery may still develop growth. These areas are checked with moisture meters.
