Good to know
Flood & Storm Mold Cleanup in Cambridge, MA: common questions
How quickly should I call after a flood?
Call as soon as it is safe. Mold can begin growth within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials, so a prompt start saves more of the structure.
Can residents remain in the home during the work?
This depends on the extent of affected areas. The crew will establish containment to isolate the work zone from living spaces.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm related mold?
Coverage varies by policy. The crew provides documentation with photos and moisture readings to support the insurance claim process.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after flood & storm mold cleanup?
The moisture source is fixed first, not just the mold, then the structure is dried and rechecked. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Cambridge home.
Is flood water mold remediation different from a leak?
Yes. Due to contaminants in flood water, porous materials that get wet are removed and discarded, not cleaned and reinstalled.
Do you handle basement flooding from spring runoff?
Yes. Spring runoff flooding into Auburndale basements and crawl spaces is a common scenario for local remediation specialists.
Do I need to leave my Cambridge home during the work?
Usually no. The work area is sealed under negative air, so most of the Cambridge home stays livable. On a larger job, the technician on site will say if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Cambridge?
Yes. Local contractors cover all of Cambridge, including West Cambridge/Harvard Square, Somerville, Kendall Square, and the rest of the Cambridge area. The line is answered around the clock, and a visit is often set the same day you call.
