We clear the mold and the moisture behind it
Mold needs very little to take hold. A slow drip under a sink, a wall left damp after a flood, or a cool basement corner is all it takes. Those spores already drift through every Troy home, and they spread fast once a surface stays wet. Most people call us about a musty smell, a dark spot near the baseboard, or a ceiling stain that keeps growing wider. The worst of it hides where you never look. We mean inside wall cavities, under the flooring, and in the damp pockets of a crawl space. So we read the moisture with meters and map how far it spread before we open a single wall.
We work to the standards set by the IICRC and the EPA. Sloppy cleanup only flings spores into rooms that are still clean. First we seal the work area with sheeting so nothing drifts toward where your family sleeps. We run negative air pressure and HEPA filtration the whole time we are there. Drywall and insulation too far gone to save come out and go straight into sealed bags. Whatever we can rescue gets cleaned, treated, and dried in place. We never paint over a stain and call the job done. Then we take fresh moisture readings and show you the space is dry before we close it up.
- Sealed containment that keeps spores out of the rooms still clean
- HEPA filtration and negative air pressure running the entire job
- We trace and fix the moisture source, not just the patch you see
- Work guided by published IICRC and EPA mold standards
- Fresh moisture readings taken before we ever call it finished
Mold is a health worry too, and we treat it as one. A damp house tends to hit kids, older parents, and anyone with asthma the hardest. So we never rush the work to save ourselves an afternoon. We log what we find with photos and moisture maps that stay with you. If you plan to file with your insurer, that record makes the claim go much smoother. And when the cause was a burst pipe, a roof leak, or a dead sump pump, we handle the drying and the repair as well. You will not be left chasing three crews around your own home.
If you can smell it or see it, do not wait for it to spread. Call us and tell us what you are noticing. We will come look, explain it in plain words, and lay out what it takes to set it right. We answer our own phone here in Troy.
