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.

Flood & Storm Mold Cleanup in Malibu, CA: common questions
How fast should I call after a flood?

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.
Will my insurance cover flood & storm mold cleanup in Malibu?
It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. We bill your carrier directly and document the loss so your Malibu claim moves.

Yes, flood water can carry contaminants, so porous materials that got wet are often removed rather than dried and reused.
