The flood and storm mold cleanup and removal process in Edwardsville, IL
Inspect
A technician uses a moisture meter to map the extent of water travel and identify which materials have absorbed moisture throughout the affected rooms.
Contain
The affected area is sealed with containment under negative air pressure to prevent contamination from spreading to dry sections of the home.
Remove
Porous materials saturated with Category 3 flood water, such as drywall, carpet padding, and insulation, are removed for disposal.
Dry
Air movers and dehumidifiers run to return the structure to normal moisture levels, with progress tracked through daily meter readings.

Good to know
Flood & Storm Mold Cleanup in Edwardsville, IL: common questions
How quickly should I call after a flood?

Can residents remain in the home during flood mold remediation?
This depends on the extent of the affected area. The on site technician will designate which zones are under containment and closed off during work.
Does homeowners insurance typically cover mold from a storm?
Coverage depends on the specific policy and the water source. The damage is thoroughly documented with photos and moisture readings to support the insurance claim.

The line is answered 24/7, and a crew can usually reach a Edwardsville home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
