The process

The roof leak mold removal and cleanup process in Cicero, IL

Inspect

Technicians trace water pathways in the attic, checking roof decking, insulation, and ceiling drywall to locate all moisture.

Contain

Containment is set up at attic access points with negative air pressure before any colonized materials are disturbed.

Remove

Colonized and saturated insulation, drywall, or decking is removed, sealed in bags, and transported from the contained area.

Dry

The attic and ceiling cavity undergo complete drying, as wet insulation releases moisture over an extended period.

Verify

Final moisture readings confirm a dry environment, and remaining structural elements are treated before project completion.
