Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
Quick scheduling, fair price, spotless cleanup. The mold in our laundry room is history.
Our process
Our mold after roof leak process in Delmar, IA
Inspect
We check the attic, roof decking, and ceiling drywall to trace how far the water actually traveled.
Contain
We seal off the ceiling or attic access point before disturbing any mold-affected material.
Remove
Saturated insulation and mold-colonized drywall or decking are removed and bagged for disposal.
Dry
We dry the attic space and ceiling cavity fully, since trapped moisture in insulation dries slowly.
