Post Storm Mold Cleanup
Post storm mold cleanup handles mold that develops after severe weather. Wind driven rain, roof damage, fallen limbs, and power outages that stop sump pumps can all let water into places it does not belong.

Storm damage is often repaired from the outside first, with tarps and new shingles, while wet insulation and ceilings inside are forgotten. Weeks later, staining and smells appear. Cleaning up that hidden moisture promptly limits how far mold spreads.
