We had mold after a slow leak under the sink. They inspected it, explained the plan, and left the space dry and clean.
No more allergy symptoms since they cleaned the mold from our HVAC and bedroom walls.

Good to know
Water Damage Mold Cleanup in St. Louis, MO: common questions
How soon can mold grow after water damage?
Under the right conditions mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours of a surface staying wet, which is why fast drying matters as much as the cleanup itself.
Will insurance cover water damage mold cleanup?
Coverage depends on your policy and the cause of the water intrusion. We document the damage thoroughly and can work directly with your carrier.
Can I just dry it out myself with fans?
Fans can help with surface moisture, but they usually can't dry a wet wall cavity or subfloor completely, and mold can start before it's fully dry.
Is the water damage mold cleanup you do in St. Louis to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across City of Saint Louis.
Do you handle both the drying and the mold removal?
Yes, our crew handles moisture mapping, structural drying, and mold removal as one coordinated job instead of separate visits.
What if the water damage happened weeks ago?
Older water damage often means mold has already started behind walls or under flooring. We inspect thoroughly since the visible damage rarely matches what's hidden inside the cavity.
Will my insurance cover water damage mold cleanup in St. Louis?
It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. We bill your carrier directly and document the loss so your St. Louis claim moves.
Do you serve St. Louis?
Yes. We cover all of St. Louis, including Hillsdale, University City, Pine Lawn, and the rest of the St. Louis area. We are based in Valley Park, about 30 minutes from our Valley Park base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
