Rated 4.9 by Northborough-area neighbors
The crew showed up on time, contained the work area, and showed me the moisture readings before and after. Tidy, careful work.
Our crawl space mold was worse than we thought. They handled the full remediation and installed a vapor barrier too.
Our process
Our mold after roof leak process in Northborough, MA
Inspect
We check the attic, roof decking, and ceiling drywall to trace how far the water actually traveled.
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.
Dry
We dry the attic space and ceiling cavity fully, since trapped moisture in insulation dries slowly.
Verify
We confirm the space reads dry and treat remaining framing before closing out the job.

Good to know
Mold After Roof Leak in Northborough, MA: 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.

It depends on your policy and the cause of the leak. We document the damage thoroughly, which helps if you file a claim.

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.
