The process

The mold after roof leak process in Cambridge, MA

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.
