The process
The flood & storm mold cleanup process in Fitchburg, MA
Inspect
The technician maps how far floodwater traveled and which materials absorbed it, room by room, with a moisture meter.
Contain
Affected areas are sealed under negative air so cleanup does not push contamination into dry parts of the home.
Remove
Soaked drywall, carpet pad and insulation come out, since Category 3 flood water cannot be sanitized in place.
Dry
Air movers and dehumidifiers bring the structure back to normal moisture levels, tracked with daily readings.
Verify
Readings confirm the structure is dry, and remaining surfaces get an antimicrobial before the job closes out.
