Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.

Good to know
Mold After Plumbing Leak in Matlacha Isles-Matlacha Shores, FL: common questions
How do I know if a leak caused mold?
A musty smell near a fixture, discolored cabinet backing, or soft subfloor near a sink or toilet are common signs mold has started after a leak.
Can mold grow from a leak I already fixed?
Yes, if the cavity stayed wet long enough before the repair, mold can already be established even though the leak itself is resolved.
How long does mold after a plumbing leak take to remediate?
It depends on how far the moisture traveled, but most single-fixture leaks are contained and dried within a few days once we start.
