More About Mold

It depends on the type and extent of damage, and whether demolition is required. We respond quickly and complete work as quickly as we can. However, insurance pushback, stubborn building materials, and extensive restoration needs can make the process take longer. Once we assess the damage, we can give you a more detailed timeline approximation.

We strongly discourage it. Disturbing mold without proper containment and equipment releases spores into the air, spreads contamination to previously unaffected areas, and exposes you to health risks. Mold spores also aren't always visible, so you could put time and effort into remediation and still not solve the problem. We conduct thorough post-remediation testing to ensure complete removal.

It depends on your policy. Insurance often covers mold if it's from a sudden event (like a burst pipe or sewage leak), but most policies don't cover long-term mold damage. That's why it's so important to call right away after water damage. We'll help you understand whether coverage is likely, and we offer flexible financing if your claim is denied.

Anytime there's water damage, there's a potential for mold growth, so we recommend calling a professional immediately after experiencing water damage. Signs of hidden mold damage include: persistent musty odor, unexplained allergy or respiratory symptoms, visible water stains, and a history of water damage that wasn't professionally dried. Our technicians use thermal imaging and moisture meters to detect mold that isn't visible to the naked eye.

Yes. If mold is discovered during the restoration process, professional mold remediation is provided to ensure a safe and healthy environment.

Mitigate water damage as soon as possible. Mold can start in as little as 72 hours on standard water loss or 24 hours with hot water source. Water cannot be sopped up with towels - it wicks into walls and insulation. Advanced moisture meters and thermal imaging locate hidden areas. Proper combination of dehumidification, air movement, and heat is needed to dry materials to prevent mold growth.
