Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
Second time using them for a different property. Same great mold removal service both times.

Good to know
Sewage Mold Remediation in East Brookfield, MA: common questions
Is a sewage backup more dangerous than a regular water leak?
Yes, sewage contamination carries health hazards a clean water leak doesn't, which is why porous materials are typically removed rather than dried and reused.
Does sewage cause mold faster than clean water?
The combination of moisture and organic contamination can create favorable conditions for mold to develop quickly, so fast response matters.
Will insurance cover a sewage backup?
Coverage depends on your specific policy, sometimes requiring a sewer backup rider. We document the damage thoroughly to support your claim.
Do I need to leave my East Brookfield home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the East Brookfield home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Should I try to clean up a sewage backup myself?
It's best to avoid direct contact and call a professional crew, since proper protective equipment and disposal practices are important for safety.
What materials do you remove after a sewage backup?
Porous materials like carpet, carpet padding, and drywall that contacted sewage are generally removed and disposed of rather than cleaned in place.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after sewage mold remediation?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a East Brookfield home.
Do you serve East Brookfield?
Yes. We cover all of East Brookfield, including Spencer, Brookfield, West Brookfield, and the rest of the East Brookfield area. We are based in North Brookfield, about 5 minutes from our North Brookfield base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
