Professional from start to finish. They handled the insurance side and made a stressful week much easier for our family.
Our crawl space mold was worse than we thought. They handled the full remediation and installed a vapor barrier too.
Our process

Inspect
We assess how far floodwater traveled and which materials absorbed it, room by room.
Contain
We section off affected areas so cleanup work doesn't spread contamination to dry parts of the home.

Water-damaged drywall, flooring, and insulation are removed, since flood water often can't be fully sanitized in place.
Dry
Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers dry the structure to normal moisture levels.

Good to know
Flood & Storm Mold Cleanup in Gordon Heights, NY: common questions
How fast should I call after a flood?
As soon as it's safe. Mold risk climbs quickly once materials stay wet, so the sooner cleanup starts, the more of the structure can typically be saved.
Can I stay in my home during flood mold cleanup?
It depends on how much of the home was affected. We'll walk you through what areas need to be closed off during the work.
Will my homeowners policy cover storm-related mold?
Coverage depends on your specific policy and the source of the water. We document everything thoroughly to support your claim.
Do I need to leave my Gordon Heights home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Gordon Heights home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Is flood water mold cleanup different from a regular leak?
Yes, flood water can carry contaminants, so porous materials that got wet are often removed rather than dried and reused.
Do you handle basement flooding from spring rain?
Yes, spring runoff and spring rain flooding into basements and crawl spaces is common in Ridge and we handle it regularly.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after flood & storm mold cleanup?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Gordon Heights home.
Do you serve Gordon Heights?
Yes. We cover all of Gordon Heights, including Coram, Middle Island, Medford, and the rest of the Gordon Heights area. We are based in Ridge, about 10 minutes from our Ridge base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
