How soon should I call after a flood?
Call as soon as it is safe. Mold can begin within 24 to 48 hours, so a faster start helps preserve more of the structure.
Can residents stay during the remediation?
This depends on the affected area's size. Technicians will establish containment to separate work zones from living spaces.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm-related mold?

Is flood & storm mold cleanup in Kirkland done to a real standard?
Yes. The remediation crew works to the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across DeKalb County.

Do I need to leave my Kirkland home during the work?
Usually no. The work area is sealed under negative air, so most of the Kirkland home stays livable. On a larger job, the technician on site will say if it is better to step out for a day.
