Rated 4.9 by Manchester-area neighbors
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.
The team contained the work area with plastic sheeting and air scrubbers. Our kids stayed safe the whole time.
Our process
Our mold after roof leak process in Manchester, MO
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.
Verify
We confirm the space reads dry and treat remaining framing before closing out the job.
