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.

Coverage depends on your specific policy and the source of the water. We document everything thoroughly to support your claim.
Will my insurance cover flood & storm mold cleanup in Wood River?
It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. We bill your carrier directly and document the loss so your Wood River claim moves.
