The process
The mold after roof leak process in Skokie, 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.
