The process

The mold after roof leak process in Franklin Park, IL

Inspect

The attic, roof decking and ceiling drywall are checked to trace how far the water actually traveled.

Contain

The attic hatch or ceiling opening is sealed under negative air before colonized material is disturbed.

Remove

Saturated insulation and mold-colonized drywall or decking are bagged and carried out through the containment.

Dry

The attic and the ceiling cavity are dried out fully, since wet insulation gives up moisture slowly.

Verify

Readings confirm the space is dry, and the remaining framing is treated before the job closes out.

Good to know

Mold After Roof Leak in Franklin Park, IL: common questions

How do I know if a ceiling stain has mold behind it?

A musty smell, a stain that keeps growing, or drywall that feels soft are the signs growth has started behind the ceiling.

Can we wait until the roof is repaired to deal with mold?

Have the moisture assessed as soon as you see it. Waiting gives growth more time to move through insulation and framing.

Does insurance cover mold from a roof leak?

It depends on the policy and the cause of the leak. The damage is documented with photos and readings to support a claim.
