The process
The mold after plumbing leak process in Somerville, MA
Inspect
The leak gets traced back to its source, and the cavities around it are checked with a moisture meter.
Contain
The work area is sealed under negative air so cutting into a wall or cabinet does not spread spores through the house.
Remove
Affected drywall, cabinet backing or subfloor comes out, and colonized material is bagged through the containment.
Dry
Air movers and a dehumidifier bring the cavity to a documented dry standard before any repair begins.
Verify
Final readings and a visual check confirm the area is dry and treated before the job closes out.

How do I know if a leak caused mold?
A musty smell near a fixture, a discolored cabinet back, or a soft subfloor near a sink or toilet are the usual signs growth has started.

Shutting off water to the fixture helps limit the damage. Leave the moldy material untouched so the technician can assess it before cleanup starts.

Yes. Scheduling is coordinated so the leak repair and the remediation happen in the right order.
