The 24 to 48 hour window
Widely cited guidance says mold can begin growing on damp materials within 24 to 48 hours. Florida heat and humidity make that window easier to hit.
What mold needs
Moisture, a food source such as drywall paper or wood, and time. You cannot remove spores from the environment, but you can remove the moisture.
What to do
Dry wet materials quickly, measure moisture instead of guessing, and get a professional assessment if you see or smell mold.
