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.

Good to know
Mold After Plumbing Leak in River Grove, IL: common questions
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.

It depends how far the water traveled, but most single-fixture leaks are contained, removed and dried within a few days.

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

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

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