The process

The roof leak mold removal and cleanup process in Donahue, IA

Inspect

The inspection starts in the attic to trace the full path of water through roof decking, insulation, and ceiling drywall.

Contain

Containment with negative air seals the attic access or ceiling opening before any colonized material is disturbed.

Remove

Saturated insulation and mold-colonized drywall or decking are safely bagged and removed from the containment area.

Dry

The attic space and ceiling cavity are dried completely, as wet insulation releases moisture slowly.

Verify

Final moisture readings confirm dryness, and remaining framing receives treatment before the job is closed.
