Rated 4.9 by Punta Rassa-area neighbors
Fast to respond and easy to reach. The technicians were tidy, respectful of our home, and explained what caused the growth so it would not come back.
Our crawl space mold was worse than we thought. They handled the full remediation and installed a vapor barrier too.
Our process
Our mold after roof leak process in Punta Rassa, FL
Inspect
We check the attic, roof decking, and ceiling drywall to trace how far the water actually traveled.
Contain
We seal off the ceiling or attic access point before disturbing any mold-affected material.
Remove
Saturated insulation and mold-colonized drywall or decking are removed and bagged for disposal.
Dry

Good to know
Mold After Roof Leak in Punta Rassa, FL: common questions
How do I know if a ceiling stain has mold behind it?
A musty smell, a stain that keeps growing, or soft spongy drywall are signs mold may have developed behind a roof leak stain.
Can I wait until the roof is repaired to deal with mold?
It's better to have the moisture assessed as soon as you notice it. Waiting gives mold more time to spread through insulation and framing.

We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Punta Rassa home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Do you go into the attic to check for mold?
Yes, we inspect the attic space, insulation, and roof decking since that's usually where roof leak moisture starts before it reaches the ceiling.
Will you replace my insulation?
We remove and dispose of insulation that's saturated or mold-affected as part of remediation. Reinsulating is typically handled alongside your roof repair.

Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Punta Rassa home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
