Insurance and your claim

Mold that follows a covered sudden leak may be covered only up to a mold limit, which is often small. Long-term leaks are often excluded. We document the work for your insurer, and you keep the claim.

Until the crew gets there

• If a leak is feeding it, shut the water off.
• Run the AC to cool and dehumidify, but do not point fans at the growth.
• Shut the room off from the rest of the house if you can.

Our mold process

1. Start with an inspection and moisture readings to see how far the growth goes.
2. Seal off the work area with plastic sheeting before anything is disturbed.
3. Run HEPA air filtration and negative air during the work.
4. Clean the remaining structure with HEPA vacuums and wipe-downs.
5. Dry the area and point out the moisture source so it can be fixed.
