We had mold after a slow leak under the sink. They inspected it, explained the plan, and left the space dry and clean.
Trustworthy crew. They only removed what was necessary and did not try to upsell us.
Our process
Our mold after roof leak process in Highlands, NJ
Inspect
We check the attic, roof decking, and ceiling drywall to trace how far the water actually traveled.
Contain
We seal off the ceiling or attic access point before disturbing any mold-affected material.
Remove
Saturated insulation and mold-colonized drywall or decking are removed and bagged for disposal.
Dry
We dry the attic space and ceiling cavity fully, since trapped moisture in insulation dries slowly.

We confirm the space reads dry and treat remaining framing before closing out the job.
