Contain
We section off affected areas so cleanup work doesn't spread contamination to dry parts of the home.

Coverage depends on your specific policy and the source of the water. We document everything thoroughly to support your claim.
Will my insurance cover flood & storm mold cleanup in Lost Nation?
It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. We bill your carrier directly and document the loss so your Lost Nation claim moves.
