## How Long to Run Fans After Water Damage?
Proper ventilation is crucial after water damage to prevent mold and mildew growth. The duration of fan use depends on several factors:
– **Severity of Damage:** More extensive damage requires longer fan usage.
– **Type of Water:** Standing water or sewage contamination may warrant longer ventilation periods.
– **Ambient Temperature and Humidity:** Higher temperatures and humidity accelerate drying.
As a general rule, run fans continuously for at least 48 hours. However, consider the following guidelines:
– **Minimal Damage:** 2-3 days of fan usage may suffice.
– **Moderate Damage:** 4-7 days of continuous ventilation is recommended.
– **Severe Damage:** Up to 10 days or more of uninterrupted fan operation may be necessary.
Monitor the drying process periodically and adjust the fan usage time as needed. Use dehumidifiers if possible to expedite drying and prevent mold growth.
