Mold help
Many newer two-story homes have a finished room over the garage, often called a bonus room or FROG. Bonus rooms sit beside knee-wall attics where ducts run through hot, humid air. Condensation and leaky ductwork can feed mold in their ceilings and walls.
Raleigh’s humid summers make every small leak a bigger problem. A sweating duct, clogged AC drain, or leaking supply line can keep Raleigh drywall damp long enough for mold.
Low areas near Crabtree Creek flood in heavy storms. North Raleigh homes on slopes often have basements that flood when the clay is soaked.
Homeowners, property managers, and business owners call us about mold all year round. We work across Five Points, Oakwood, Cameron Village, North Hills, Boylan Heights, Brier Creek, Hayes Barton, Mordecai, Glenwood-Brooklyn, and Wakefield.

Found mold?
Finding mold is stressful, but you have time to do this right. Acting in the first day or two keeps it from spreading.
Not sure how big the problem is? Call and talk it through with our crew.
Call (919) 238-9459Check above and around the mold for a drip, a damp spot, or a stain. Stopping the water stops the mold from growing.
Run the air conditioning or a dehumidifier. The EPA recommends keeping indoor humidity below 60%, ideally between 30% and 50%.
Photograph the mold and any water damage before anything is cleaned. Your insurance company may ask for them.
For a patch under about 10 square feet, the EPA says you can usually clean it yourself with detergent and water. Wear gloves, eye protection, and a mask.
Anyone with asthma, allergies, or a weak immune system should stay out of the area until the mold is gone.
Dry mold sends spores into the air and through the house. Keep the surface damp while you clean it, or leave it for a pro.
Bleach can whiten the surface, but on drywall and wood it doesn’t reach the mold growing inside. Paint over mold peels, and the mold keeps growing underneath.
Fans blowing across mold carry the spores into other rooms.
The system will blow spores through the whole house. Leave it off until it’s been checked.
If you can see mold, the EPA says testing usually isn’t needed. Spend the money on finding the leak.
Where mold hides
Around Raleigh, mold usually traces back to attic ducts, humid air, or water after heavy storms.
Bonus rooms surrounded by hot attic spaces collect condensation from ducts and poor air sealing.
Sweating or leaky ductwork and clogged drains drip onto ceilings.
Steam and slow leaks in Raleigh’s humid air grow mold behind tile and cabinets.
Older homes on crawl spaces stay damp in summer.
Crabtree Creek and other streams can push water into low-lying homes.
Soggy red clay pushes water into basements on sloped lots.
How we remove mold
In Raleigh, mold comes back unless the humidity or leak is fixed. We start by tracing it, often to the attic or ducts around a bonus room.
We contain the space. Plastic barriers and HEPA air scrubbers keep spores from drifting downstairs or into the ducts serving the bonus room.
We take out what mold has grown into. Bonus room drywall, knee wall insulation, wrapped ducts, and carpet with growth come out, and framing is cleaned and treated.
We dry and help prevent a repeat. Readings must match a dry room before repairs. We can point out duct sealing and insulation fixes for bonus rooms.

What to doWe’ll take readings in those hidden spots during a free inspection.
What can be saved
From Holly Springs builds to Five Points bungalows, our call depends on the material, how long it stayed wet, and how far growth reached. The inspection confirms each item.
Hard surfaces clean well.
Rafters and OSB roof decking above a bonus room with surface growth can usually be cleaned and treated.
Drywall in a room over the garage with a few spots may clean. Panels soaked by a leaking duct or drain are cut out.
Some textured ceilings clean; stained or soft sections are replaced.
Oak floors in Triangle homes with surface mold clean up. Boards that cupped from humidity below are replaced.
Bonus room or basement carpet that grew mold on its backing is replaced.
Wood and metal furniture usually cleans. Futons and sectionals with growth deep in the cushions may not.
Photos and papers stored in a humid bonus room or basement can sometimes be restored by a document specialist.
Insulation with growth or soaked by a duct leak is replaced.
Moldy duct wrap is replaced.
Pad with growth is replaced.
Usually not. If the mold is visible and the cause is clear, like a sweating duct or a flooded basement, testing seldom changes the plan. It helps more when you smell mold but can’t find it, or when a buyer, landlord, or tenant needs documentation.
If testing makes sense, we can explain the options and coordinate an independent tester.
Stop the water behind the mold
Every job starts with a free inspection and estimate. Here’s how the 24 Hour Flood Pros team helps with each type of damage.
Crabtree Creek flooding, basement seepage, and supply line leaks soak Raleigh homes. We extract the standing water, set up dehumidifiers and air movers, and take moisture readings every day until the floors and framing test dry.
More about Water Damage
Fire damage in a home means soot on every surface and a smell that lingers in carpet and drywall. Soot is acidic and keeps staining surfaces, so cleanup starts early. We remove soot, treat odor at the source, clean what can be saved, and rebuild what can’t.
More about Fire and Smoke Damage
Hurricane remnants and ice storms bring down pines on Triangle roofs. We dry the structure, remove damaged materials, and repair the ceilings and walls inside.
More about Storm Damage
Mold in NC State student housing, a North Hills restaurant, or an RTP office takes planning around people. We extract, dry, and clean on a plan built around reopening, and we document each step for your carrier.
More about Commercial Restoration
When you’re ready to rebuild, the same crew puts it back together, from drywall to cabinets to the final coat of paint, so there’s no second contractor to hire.

Our process
Call (919) 238-9459 any time, day or night, including weekends and holidays. Tell us what you’re seeing or smelling, and where. We’ll send a crew right away.
The 24 Hour Flood Pros team looks for the moisture feeding the mold. We use moisture meters to find water hiding inside walls, under floors, and in the crawlspace. We take photos for your insurance. The inspection is free.
We seal the work area with plastic and set up HEPA air scrubbers, so spores don’t spread to clean rooms. The heat and air stay off in that area while we work.
We dry out the water and show you what’s causing it. If a plumber, a roofer, or an HVAC tech needs to fix a leak, we tell you before we go further.
Drywall, insulation, and carpet pad with mold growing in them are cut out, bagged, and carried out. That way we only remove what really needs it.
Framing, subfloor, and other solid surfaces are HEPA-vacuumed, cleaned, and treated. Then we dry them until they read close to a dry room elsewhere in the house.
When you’re ready, the 24 Hour Flood Pros team fixes the damage. We replace drywall, install cabinets, and finish with fresh paint. Our goal is to make your home look the way it did before.
Before we take the plastic down, we check the area for any mold or dust left behind. Then we walk through it with you and send the final records to your insurance company to close out the claim.
Condensation from attic ducts can feed hidden mold. Call us for a free inspection.
Insurance and claims
Sometimes. Many homeowners policies cover mold when it comes from a sudden, covered water event, like a burst pipe or a water heater that gives out. Mold from a slow leak or ongoing humidity is often excluded, and some policies cap mold coverage at a set amount.
Your policy decides what’s covered, not us. We work with all major insurance carriers, including State Farm, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, Farmers, American Family, Travelers, and Nationwide, and we keep the paperwork clear enough that your claim doesn’t stall.
Report it soon after you find it. Waiting can make it harder to show the mold came from a sudden event.
If a claim stalls, you can file a complaint with the North Carolina Department of Insurance.

Common questions
A crew can be there within 45 minutes. We work 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays, so you can call the moment you find mold or a leak.
Any mold growing indoors should be removed, whatever its color. The CDC’s advice is that you don’t need to know the type of mold to deal with it. Mold can trigger allergies and asthma, so people with breathing problems or weak immune systems should stay away from it.
For a small area, yes. The EPA says a patch under about 10 square feet, roughly 3 feet by 3 feet, can usually be cleaned with detergent and water while you wear gloves, eye protection, and a mask. Call a professional for anything larger, mold in the heating and air system, mold after sewage or flood water, or mold that keeps coming back.
Usually not if you can see the mold. Testing is most useful when you smell mold but can’t find it, or to confirm the cleanup worked.
Not if the moisture is fixed. Mold comes back when the leak, the drainage problem, or the humidity is still there. That’s why every job starts with finding the source, and why we dry everything before the walls are closed.
Usually not. We seal off the work area and filter the air, so most people stay home. For large jobs, or if someone in the house has breathing problems, we’ll tell you in advance if staying somewhere else makes sense.
It depends on how big the area is, what has to be removed, how hard it is to reach, and what it takes to stop the moisture. A bathroom wall costs far less than a whole crawlspace or attic. The inspection and estimate are free, so you know the cost before any work starts.
A small area can take a few days. Crawlspaces, attics, and rooms that need rebuilding take longer. Your estimate includes a schedule.
North Carolina doesn’t issue a specific state license for mold remediation, so it’s worth checking a company’s training and certifications before you hire it. 24 Hour Flood Pros is an IICRC Certified Firm, #70120685.
