Great communication from the first call. They tested the air, handled the removal, and rechecked the space before signing off.
Our Columbia home had mold in the basement after heavy rain. They fixed it fast and it has stayed dry.
Our process

Good to know
Water Damage Mold Cleanup in Cahokia, IL: common questions
How soon can mold grow after water damage?
Under the right conditions mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours of a surface staying wet, which is why fast drying matters as much as the cleanup itself.
Will insurance cover water damage mold cleanup?
Coverage depends on your policy and the cause of the water intrusion. We document the damage thoroughly and can work directly with your carrier.
Can I just dry it out myself with fans?
Fans can help with surface moisture, but they usually can't dry a wet wall cavity or subfloor completely, and mold can start before it's fully dry.
Do I need to leave my Cahokia home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Cahokia home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you handle both the drying and the mold removal?
Yes, our crew handles moisture mapping, structural drying, and mold removal as one coordinated job instead of separate visits.
What if the water damage happened weeks ago?
Older water damage often means mold has already started behind walls or under flooring. We inspect thoroughly since the visible damage rarely matches what's hidden inside the cavity.
How soon can you start water damage mold cleanup in Cahokia?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Cahokia home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Do you serve Cahokia?
Yes. We cover all of Cahokia, including Sauget, East Carondelet, Centreville, and the rest of the Cahokia area. We are based in Columbia, about 15 minutes from our Columbia base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
