Same-day response when our basement flooded. They dried it out and removed the damaged drywall before mold could spread.
Honest company. They told us the mold patch was small enough to clean ourselves and even explained how.

Contain
We section off affected areas so cleanup work doesn't spread contamination to dry parts of the home.
