Good to know

Flood & Storm Mold Cleanup in Holden, MA: common questions

How quickly should I call after a flood?

Contact for service as soon as safely possible. Mold can begin growth within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials.

Can occupants stay during the flood cleanup?

It depends on the affected area's size. The work zone is contained, but access may be restricted during remediation.

Does homeowners insurance cover mold from storms?

Coverage varies by policy. The process includes documentation to help support an insurance claim.

Do I need to leave my Holden home during the work?

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