Don't Try to Clean It Yourself
Moving water-damaged materials, disturbing mold, or attempting to clean up sewage or fire damage without proper equipment can make the situation worse and create health hazards.
Mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours of water exposure. The sooner we arrive and begin extraction and drying, the less likely you are to face a secondary mold remediation on top of your water damage repair.
We Work With All Insurance Companies
Myco-Tek provides complete photo documentation, moisture readings, and written remediation reports accepted by all major insurance carriers. We help take the stress out of the claims process.
