The process
The mold after roof leak process in Eldridge, IA
Inspect
The attic, roof decking and ceiling drywall are checked to trace how far the water actually traveled.
Contain
The attic hatch or ceiling opening is sealed under negative air before colonized material is disturbed.
Remove
Saturated insulation and mold-colonized drywall or decking are bagged and carried out through the containment.
Dry
The attic and the ceiling cavity are dried out fully, since wet insulation gives up moisture slowly.

Good to know
Mold After Roof Leak in Eldridge, IA: common questions
How do I know if a ceiling stain has mold behind it?
A musty smell, a stain that keeps growing, or drywall that feels soft are the signs growth has started behind the ceiling.
Can we wait until the roof is repaired to deal with mold?
Have the moisture assessed as soon as you see it. Waiting gives growth more time to move through insulation and framing.
Does insurance cover mold from a roof leak?
It depends on the policy and the cause of the leak. The damage is documented with photos and readings to support a claim.
Will my insurance cover mold after roof leak in Eldridge?
It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. Insurance is accepted, and the contractor works with your carrier and documents the loss so the Eldridge claim keeps moving.
Do you go into the attic to check for mold?
Yes. The attic, insulation and roof decking are inspected first, since that is where roof leak moisture sits before it reaches the ceiling.
Will you replace my insulation?
Saturated and colonized insulation is removed and disposed of as part of remediation. Reinsulating is usually scheduled alongside the roof repair.

Usually no. The work area is sealed under negative air, so most of the Eldridge home stays livable. On a larger job, the technician on site will say if it is better to step out for a day.
