Our process
Our mold after roof leak process in Berkeley, IL
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
We dry the attic space and ceiling cavity fully, since trapped moisture in insulation dries slowly.

Good to know
Mold After Roof Leak in Berkeley, IL: 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.
Does insurance cover mold from a roof leak?
It depends on your policy and the cause of the leak. We document the damage thoroughly, which helps if you file a claim.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after mold after roof leak?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Berkeley home.
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.
How soon can you start mold after roof leak in Berkeley?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Berkeley home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
