The process

The mold after plumbing leak process in Wood River, IL

Inspect

The leak gets traced back to its source, and the cavities around it are checked with a moisture meter.

Contain

The work area is sealed under negative air so cutting into a wall or cabinet does not spread spores through the house.

Remove

Affected drywall, cabinet backing or subfloor comes out, and colonized material is bagged through the containment.

Dry

Air movers and a dehumidifier bring the cavity to a documented dry standard before any repair begins.

Verify

Final readings and a visual check confirm the area is dry and treated before the job closes out.

Good to know

How do I know if a leak caused mold?

A musty smell near a fixture, a discolored cabinet back, or a soft subfloor near a sink or toilet are the usual signs growth has started.

Can mold grow from a leak we already fixed?

Yes. If the cavity stayed wet long enough before the repair, growth can already be underway even though the leak itself is gone.

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

Should I fix the leak myself before calling?

Shutting off water to the fixture helps limit the damage. Leave the moldy material untouched so the technician can assess it before cleanup starts.

Do you work with my plumber?

Yes. Scheduling is coordinated so the leak repair and the remediation happen in the right order.
