Contain
We seal off the ceiling or attic access point before disturbing any mold-affected material.
Remove
Saturated insulation and mold-colonized drywall or decking are removed and bagged for disposal.

Good to know
Mold After Roof Leak in Passaic, NJ: common questions
How do I know if a ceiling stain has mold behind it?
A musty smell, a stain that keeps growing, or soft spongy drywall are signs mold may have developed behind a roof leak stain.
Can I wait until the roof is repaired to deal with mold?
It's better to have the moisture assessed as soon as you notice it. Waiting gives mold more time to spread through insulation and framing.
Does insurance cover mold from a roof leak?
It depends on your policy and the cause of the leak. We document the damage thoroughly, which helps if you file a claim.
Do I need to leave my Passaic home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Passaic home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you go into the attic to check for mold?
Yes, we inspect the attic space, insulation, and roof decking since that's usually where roof leak moisture starts before it reaches the ceiling.
Will you replace my insulation?
We remove and dispose of insulation that's saturated or mold-affected as part of remediation. Reinsulating is typically handled alongside your roof repair.
Will my insurance cover mold after roof leak in Passaic?
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 Passaic claim moves.
