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.

Good to know
Flood & Storm Mold Cleanup in Cambridge, MA: 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.
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 Cambridge home.
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 Auburndale and we handle it regularly.
Do I need to leave my Cambridge home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Cambridge home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Cambridge?
Yes. We cover all of Cambridge, including West Cambridge/Harvard Square, Somerville, Kendall Square, and the rest of the Cambridge area. We are based in Auburndale, about 15 minutes from our Auburndale base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
