Our process
Our mold after roof leak process in Sunnyside-Tahoe City, CA
Inspect
We check the attic, roof decking, and ceiling drywall to trace how far the water actually traveled.
Contain
We seal off the ceiling or attic access point before disturbing any mold-affected material.
Remove
Saturated insulation and mold-colonized drywall or decking are removed and bagged for disposal.
Dry
We dry the attic space and ceiling cavity fully, since trapped moisture in insulation dries slowly.
Verify
We confirm the space reads dry and treat remaining framing before closing out the job.

A musty smell, a stain that keeps growing, or soft spongy drywall are signs mold may have developed behind a roof leak stain.
Can I wait until the roof is repaired to deal with mold?
It's better to have the moisture assessed as soon as you notice it. Waiting gives mold more time to spread through insulation and framing.

Yes, we inspect the attic space, insulation, and roof decking since that's usually where roof leak moisture starts before it reaches the ceiling.
