Mold after a leak — what we handle and what has to happen first
This is cleanup after water events that leave mold on Worcester finishes. It is not a paint job over a wet wall, and it is not a substitute for stopping the leak.
What we remove
- Board and insulation that grew
- Pad and base that wicked
- Cut-out past the visible line
- Dry the cavity before close-up
What we do not skip
- Find and stop the source
- Extract and dry first
- No close-up on a wet stud
- Paint is not remediation
Stop the water first. Then dry. Then the finishes.
Mold on a Worcester finish after a leak is a water problem that waited. Related: water damage and leaks. We will not bleach a stain and call it done while the supply is still weeping or the slab is still wet. Extraction and drying live on cleanup. Putting board back lives on restoration.
We cut out what grew, dry the cavity, and close it when it is actually dry. Hidden leaks behind a tub or a vanity are still plumbing. Quality Professional Work. 61 Sandra Dr.
Labor rates
Mold cleanup after a water event is quoted after we see the room and confirm the leak is stopped. New customers $75/hr. Regular rate $100/hr when the work is hourly. We do not sell a “mold package” that skips drying.
Call or text (508) 335-3306 with where the stain is and whether the water is still moving.
Do not paint over a wet stain
- If the leak is still active, shut it. See 7 signs of a plumbing emergency.
- A musty basement that floods every rain needs the sump or drain fixed, not only a cut-out.
- Household bleach on a stained wall does not dry a wet cavity.
- If you cannot find the source, say so. Hidden supply leaks are why stains return.
Frequently asked questions
Can you just spray it?
Not if the wall is still wet or the leak is still running. Kill the source, dry, then remove what grew. Spray without that is a stain that comes back.
Is this a mold-only company?
No. This is a plumbing and water-cleanup company. We handle mold that showed up after a leak, backup, or flood — as part of getting the water out and the finish honest.
Do you test the air?
We look at the wet finish and the source. If you want lab sampling, that is a separate conversation. We will not invent a test you did not ask for.
How do I get on the calendar?
Call or text (508) 335-3306. A photo of the stain and whether the leak is stopped tells us whether this visit starts with plumbing or with cut-out.
