Good to know
Flood & Storm Mold Cleanup in O'Fallon, IL: common questions
How quickly should I call after a flood?
As soon as it is safe. Mold can begin within 24 to 48 hours, so a faster response helps more of the structure survive.
Can occupants stay in the home during the work?
It depends on the extent of flooding. The technician establishes containment to isolate affected areas during remediation.
Will homeowners insurance cover storm-related mold?
