Yes, moisture can remain trapped behind walls or under flooring, so moisture testing after the visible cleanup is an important step.
Extraction itself may take a few hours depending on the volume of water, with drying and dehumidification continuing over the following days.
Some crews offer temporary board-up or securing services if the flood has caused structural openings, though this may be handled by a separate contractor.
