A technician uses a moisture meter to map the extent of floodwater migration and identify all affected materials room by room.
Contain
Affected zones are sealed under negative air pressure to prevent the spread of contaminants to dry areas of the home during mold remediation.
Remove
Porous materials saturated with Category 3 flood water, such as drywall, carpet padding, and insulation, are removed and discarded.
Dry
Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers dry the structure, with moisture levels tracked daily until target readings are achieved.

Good to know
Flood & Storm Mold Cleanup in Somerville, MA: common questions
How quickly should I call after a flood?
Contact should be made as soon as it is safe. Mold can begin growing on wet materials within 24 to 48 hours, making a prompt start crucial for saving structural elements.
Can occupants remain in the home during flood mold cleanup?
This depends on the extent of affected areas. The on-site technician will identify which zones remain under containment and closed off during the mold remediation work.
Does homeowners insurance typically cover storm-related mold damage?
Coverage varies by policy and water source. The damage is thoroughly documented with photos and moisture readings to support the insurance claim process.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after flood & storm mold cleanup?
The moisture source is fixed first, not just the mold, then the structure is dried and rechecked. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Somerville home.
Is flood water mold removal different from cleaning up a regular leak?
Yes. Due to contaminants in flood water, porous materials that become wet are removed and disposed of rather than dried and reinstalled.
Do you address basement flooding from spring rains?
Yes. Spring runoff and rain flooding into South Hamilton basements and crawl spaces is common work for local mold removal crews.
Do I need to leave my Somerville home during the work?
Usually no. The work area is sealed under negative air, so most of the Somerville home stays livable. On a larger job, the technician on site will say if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Somerville?
Yes. Local contractors cover all of Somerville, including Winter Hill, East Somerville, Cambridge, and the rest of the Somerville area. The line is answered around the clock, and a visit is often set the same day you call.
