What Counts as a Mold Emergency?
Not every mold spot is an emergency. A small spot on a shower wall can wait for a normal visit. Call us right away when moisture is still active or the area is large.
Water Is Still Spreading
A pipe, roof, or air conditioner is still leaking. Wet materials can grow mold quickly. The EPA notes mold can start to grow within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials.
Mold Appeared After a Storm or Flood
Hurricanes and tropical storms can soak walls, floors, and ceilings. Mold may show up fast in a humid house.
Mold Covers a Large Area
Large patches in a room, ceiling, or attic need a professional plan.
Someone in the Home Needs the Area Sealed Off
If you want the space contained fast, call. We can close off the work area and start the cleanup plan.
What to Do First
These steps can limit the damage. Keep yourself safe first.
- Stop the water if you can. Turn off the main water valve for a pipe leak.
- Stay out of standing water near electrical outlets or cords.
- Turn off the air conditioner if mold may be in the ducts, so you do not blow spores around.
- Do not scrub or sand the mold. This can spread spores.
- Take photos of the damage for your insurance claim.
- Call us.
What Happens When You Call
We Ask a Few Short Questions
We ask where the water came from, what is wet, and where you see mold.
We Explain the Next Step
We tell you what to do while you wait. We also tell you what we plan to do on site.
We Visit and Check Moisture
We check for wet materials and the source of the moisture. You get a free estimate with clear pricing.
We Contain and Clean
We seal the work area, run HEPA air filtration, remove materials that cannot be saved, and clean the rest.
What Emergency Mold Remediation Does Not Cover
We do not fix plumbing, roofs, or air conditioners. We tell you what must be repaired by the right trade. We also do not offer mold testing. In Florida, mold assessment and mold remediation are kept separate on the same property.
