If you are experiencing a leak or flooding, the sooner you stop the water and get a drying company – remediators or abatement contractors can dry out your building – the less chance you have for mold growth.
Abatement contractors remove asbestos and lead as well as mold.
Remediators remove mold.
Most remediators and abatement contractors do not perform reconstruction, however, some are also licensed general contractors. If you are interested in this service, you should ask your chosen professional.
Always get three quotes for anticipated work. Always confirm valid license, insurance and certifications.

General Contractors
Some remediators and abatement contractors also are general contractors.
After the cleanup your contractor will replace removed building materials. It is very important that testing be done before your contractor replaces any building materials or your containment is removed by your remediator/abatement contractor.
- You should not rebuild until clearance or validation testing has shown the problem is resolved.
