Saturated insulation and mold-colonized drywall or decking are bagged and removed through the containment.

Good to know
Mold After Roof Leak in Wheaton, IL: common questions
How do I know if a ceiling stain has mold behind it?
A musty smell, a spreading stain, or soft drywall indicates growth may have started behind the ceiling.
Can mold assessment wait until the roof is repaired?
A moisture assessment is recommended promptly. Waiting allows growth more time to move through insulation and framing.
Does insurance cover mold from a roof leak?
Coverage depends on the policy and leak cause. Damage is documented with photos and readings to support a claim.
Do I need to leave my Wheaton home during the work?
Usually no. The work area is sealed under negative air, so most of the Wheaton home stays livable. On a larger job, the technician on site will say if it is better to step out for a day.
Do technicians go into the attic to check for mold?
Yes. The attic, insulation, and roof decking are inspected first, as that is where roof leak moisture collects.
Is insulation replaced?
Saturated and colonized insulation is removed and disposed of during remediation. Reinsulating is typically scheduled with roof repair.
