Water damage in your home? We cover the mold risk that comes with it.
Our sister company Cleveland Water and Fire Restoration (opens in a new tab) handles the water damage restoration: extraction, drying, and repairs. We handle the mold testing and remediation side, so nothing gets missed between two contractors.
- Water restoration, mold work, and rebuilds across one family of companies
- One call, the right team
- On-site testing during the visit, with no wait on an outside lab
- Same-day mold answers
- Nothing falls through the gap between two contractors
- Sister companies, one handoff
Water first, mold second: why the first days matter.
Wet drywall, framing, and flooring do not stay just wet. Mold growth can begin on damp materials within 24 to 72 hours, often out of sight behind walls and under floors. Handling the water without checking the mold risk leaves the second problem growing quietly.
One family of companies, from water out to walls closed.
Cleveland Water and Fire Restoration (opens in a new tab) extracts the water, sets drying equipment, and monitors moisture until the structure reads dry. If testing shows a mold problem, our team handles the remediation. When rebuilds are needed, Keselman Construction Group closes the walls. Three companies, one family, no gaps between contractors.

Already dried it yourself? Test before you close it up.
Plenty of Cleveland homeowners shop-vac a flooded basement and hope for the best. Before you rebuild or re-carpet, a whole-home inspection with same-day InstaScope results can tell you whether the drying worked or whether mold got a head start.
Who does what, and who you pay.
Water restoration, mold remediation, and reconstruction are separate scopes with separate estimates, and you will always know which company is doing which. We will walk you through the written scope for anything we recommend before you commit.

Straight answers about the handoff, the timing, and which company bills you for what.
Do you do the water extraction and drying yourselves?
No. Our sister company Cleveland Water and Fire Restoration handles that side: extraction, drying equipment, and monitoring moisture until the structure reads dry. We handle the mold testing and remediation, and Keselman Construction Group closes the walls when a rebuild is needed.
How quickly can mold start after water damage?
Mold growth can begin on damp materials within 24 to 72 hours, and it often starts out of sight behind walls and under floors. That is why the mold risk is worth checking during the water event rather than after the drying is finished.
I already dried it out myself. Do I still need testing?
It is worth testing before you rebuild or re-carpet. A whole-home inspection with same-day InstaScope results can tell you whether the drying actually worked or whether mold got a head start in a spot you could not see.
Will I get one estimate or several?
Water restoration, mold remediation, and reconstruction are separate scopes with separate estimates. You will always know which company is doing which piece, and we walk you through the written scope for anything we recommend before you commit.
Who should I call first?
Call us and describe what happened. If the water is still active, we will point you to Cleveland Water and Fire Restoration first. If the water is already handled, we can start with the mold side. Either way you make one call and land with the right team.
