Our mold process

1. Seal off the work area with plastic sheeting before anything is disturbed.
2. Run HEPA air filtration and negative air during the work.
3. HEPA-vacuum and clean framing and hard surfaces.
4. Dry what is left and show you the leak or humidity problem that caused it.
5. Document the work with photos for your records and your insurer.

Until the crew gets there

• Do not scrape, sand, or bleach visible growth; it spreads spores.
• Stop the water source if you can do it safely.
• Photograph stains and damage for your records.

Claims paperwork

Coverage for mold depends heavily on your policy and on what caused it. We give you photos and a written scope; you and your insurer decide the rest. We are not a public adjuster.
