The answer is both yes and no.
- Yes if the item affected is porous, like carpet and drywall. Removal is recommended, as it’s unlikely these can be recovered.
- No if the item is not porous, like metal and glass. These aren’t as prone to mold and water damage.
We know this is an oversimplified answer, but it’s a good base to expand from. In case there’s a lot of mold, consulting a professional mold remediator is recommended in either case.
