Contain
The attic access or ceiling opening is sealed under negative air pressure before any colonized material is disturbed.
Remove
Saturated insulation and mold colonized drywall or decking are bagged and removed through the containment area.

How can I tell if a ceiling stain in my Columbia home has mold behind it?
A musty odor, a stain that continues to grow, or soft, spongy drywall are indicators that mold growth may have started behind the ceiling.
Can mold remediation wait until after the roof is repaired?
It is recommended to have the moisture assessed promptly. Waiting allows mold more time to spread through insulation and wood framing.

Coverage depends on the specific insurance policy and the cause of the leak. The damage is documented with photos and moisture readings to support the claim process.

Yes. The attic, insulation, and roof decking are inspected first, as this is where roof leak moisture initially collects.
