Visit and Inspection — What Happens

A visit in Downtown starts the way it does everywhere else on this site: the affected rooms are looked at first, then the materials around them — walls, floors, ceilings and cabinets — so the extent of the mold is found before any work is planned.

After the visit, the work is talked through with you: what needs doing, which rooms are involved, and what preparation is needed. The method used is confirmed on the call — this page does not promise a particular method for any home in Downtown. Follow-up, where the job needs it, is agreed on the visit, and any drying and follow-up are talked through before the visit ends.
