The attic, roof decking, and ceiling drywall are inspected to trace the full path of water intrusion.
Contain
The attic access or ceiling opening is sealed with containment and negative air pressure before any colonized material is disturbed.
Remove
Saturated insulation and mold colonized drywall or sheathing are bagged and removed through the containment barrier.
Dry

Good to know
Mold After Roof Leak in Kirkwood, MO: common questions
How do I know if a ceiling stain has mold behind it?
A musty smell, a stain that continues to grow, or soft drywall are indicators that growth may have started behind the ceiling.
Can remediation wait until the roof is repaired?
Have the moisture assessed promptly. Waiting allows growth more time to spread through insulation and framing.
Is mold from a roof leak covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on the specific insurance policy and the cause of the leak. The damage is documented with photos and readings to support a claim.
Will my insurance cover mold after roof leak in Kirkwood?
It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. Insurance is accepted, and the contractor works with your carrier and documents the loss so the Kirkwood claim keeps moving.
Do you inspect the attic for mold?
Yes. The attic, insulation, and roof decking are inspected first, as that is where roof leak moisture accumulates.
Will you replace my insulation?
Saturated and colonized insulation is removed and disposed of as part of the remediation process. Reinsulation is typically scheduled with the roof repair.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after mold after roof leak?
The moisture source is fixed first, not just the mold, then the structure is dried and rechecked. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Kirkwood home.
