Remove
Saturated insulation and mold-colonized drywall or decking are bagged and removed through the containment barrier.

Good to know
Mold After Roof Leak in Glen Carbon, IL: common questions
How can you tell if a ceiling stain has mold behind it?
A musty odor, a stain that continues to expand, or soft, damp drywall are indicators that mold growth may have started behind the ceiling.
Should mold remediation wait until after the roof is repaired?
Moisture should be assessed promptly upon discovery. Delay allows growth more time to spread through insulation and framing.

Coverage depends on the specific insurance policy and the cause of the leak. Damage is documented with photos and readings to support any claim.

Yes. The remediation crew works to the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Madison County.

Yes. The attic, insulation, and roof decking are inspected first, as this is where roof leak moisture accumulates before reaching the ceiling.
