The crew showed up on time, contained the work area, and showed me the moisture readings before and after. Tidy, careful work.
Honest company. They told us the mold patch was small enough to clean ourselves and even explained how.
Our process

Inspect
We assess how far floodwater traveled and which materials absorbed it, room by room.
Contain
We section off affected areas so cleanup work doesn't spread contamination to dry parts of the home.
Remove
Water-damaged drywall, flooring, and insulation are removed, since flood water often can't be fully sanitized in place.
Dry
Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers dry the structure to normal moisture levels.
