The flood and storm mold cleanup and removal process in Wood River, 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.
