Contain
We section off affected areas so cleanup work doesn't spread contamination to dry parts of the home.

Good to know
Flood & Storm Mold Cleanup in Upper Alton, IL: common questions
How fast should I call after a flood?
As soon as it's safe. Mold risk climbs quickly once materials stay wet, so the sooner cleanup starts, the more of the structure can typically be saved.
Can I stay in my home during flood mold cleanup?
It depends on how much of the home was affected. We'll walk you through what areas need to be closed off during the work.
Will my homeowners policy cover storm-related mold?
Coverage depends on your specific policy and the source of the water. We document everything thoroughly to support your claim.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after flood & storm mold cleanup?
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 Upper Alton home.
Is flood water mold cleanup different from a regular leak?
Yes, flood water can carry contaminants, so porous materials that got wet are often removed rather than dried and reused.

Yes, spring runoff and spring rain flooding into basements and crawl spaces is common in East Alton and we handle it regularly.
