We had mold after a slow leak under the sink. They inspected it, explained the plan, and left the space dry and clean.
The musty odor in our office is completely gone after their mold treatment. Employees noticed the difference.

Good to know
Water Damage Mold Cleanup in Somerville, MA: common questions
How soon can mold grow after water damage?
Under the right conditions mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours of a surface staying wet, which is why fast drying matters as much as the cleanup itself.
Will insurance cover water damage mold cleanup?
Coverage depends on your policy and the cause of the water intrusion. We document the damage thoroughly and can work directly with your carrier.
Can I just dry it out myself with fans?
Fans can help with surface moisture, but they usually can't dry a wet wall cavity or subfloor completely, and mold can start before it's fully dry.
Is the water damage mold cleanup you do in Somerville to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Middlesex County.
Do you handle both the drying and the mold removal?
Yes, our crew handles moisture mapping, structural drying, and mold removal as one coordinated job instead of separate visits.
What if the water damage happened weeks ago?
Older water damage often means mold has already started behind walls or under flooring. We inspect thoroughly since the visible damage rarely matches what's hidden inside the cavity.
How soon can you start water damage mold cleanup in Somerville?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Somerville home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Do you serve Somerville?
Yes. We cover all of Somerville, including Winter Hill, East Somerville, Cambridge, and the rest of the Somerville area. We are based in Boxford, about 35 minutes from our Boxford base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
