You can smell it before you see it
That earthy, damp smell in a closed room usually means growth behind a surface, not on it.

How the work goes
01
Inspect and test, so we know what is there and how far it has spread before anything is opened.
02
Seal the area and run negative air pressure, so spores do not travel into the rest of the house.
03
Remove the affected materials and HEPA clean everything that stays.
04
Treat the surfaces and dry the space out properly.
05
Bring in an outside lab to clear it, then rebuild the wall or ceiling that came out.
Worth knowing
When it is time to call someone
Spots keep coming back
If it returns weeks after you cleaned it, the moisture source is still there and the roots were never removed.
It follows a water event
Anything that got wet and stayed wet past two days is a candidate, even if it looks dry now.
Allergy symptoms indoors
Stuffy head at home that clears when you leave is worth an air sample before anything else.
Scope of work
What remediation actually involves
Inspection and testing
Visual inspection plus air and surface sampling, so the scope is based on data rather than a guess.
Containment
Sealed barriers and negative air pressure, so nothing travels into rooms that are still clean.
HEPA filtration
Air scrubbers running throughout the work, with filters changed on schedule.
Removal
Affected porous material cut out past the visible edge, bagged and taken out through the containment.
Antimicrobial and HEPA cleaning
Every surface that stays gets treated and wiped down, including framing.
Clearance testing
An independent lab confirms the numbers before we rebuild, and you get the report.
Equipment
What we bring to the job
Gear sized to the room, not whatever was left on the truck. Undersized equipment is how a three-day dry-out turns into a two-week mold job.
LGR dehumidifiers
Pull moisture at low grain, where standard units stall
Air movers
Placed by airflow pattern, not spaced by eye
HEPA air scrubbers
Negative air on every containment
Thermal imaging
Finds wet cavities without opening the wall first
Penetrating moisture meters
Readings logged daily, shared with you and the carrier
Why cleaning it yourself does not hold
Bleach on the surface takes the colour out but leaves the roots in porous material like drywall and framing. Without containment, sanding or scrubbing throws spores through the rest of the house. And if the moisture source stays, it grows back in the same spot within weeks.
What we stand behind
Put in writing, before we start
One year on our workmanship
If something we installed or repaired fails because of how we did it, we come back and fix it at no charge. Manufacturer warranties on materials pass through to you.
The price you signed
No change without a signed change order. If we open a wall and find more than anyone expected, you see the revised number and approve it before we keep going.
Dry means the meter says dry
Equipment comes out on readings, not on a schedule that suits us. You get the daily logs, and on mold work an outside lab signs off before we rebuild.
A real job
A bedroom ceiling we cleared
A slow roof leak over a bedroom went unnoticed through a wet winter. By the time it was called in, growth covered most of the ceiling and had reached the top of two walls. Containment went up the same day, the ceiling and affected drywall came out, and the room passed clearance on the first test six days later.

★★★★★
"Found black mold in our crawlspace during a remodel. The team contained it perfectly with zero cross-contamination. Very professional, transparent pricing, and passed clearance testing on the first try."
Michael T. · Google reviewQuestions we get asked a lot
Is the testing included?
The inspection is free. Lab testing before and after is a separate cost, and on larger jobs the clearance test is done by an independent lab, not us.
Is it safe to stay in the house?
For a contained area, yes, you stay in the unaffected parts. For whole-house or heavy contamination we will tell you straight that you should stay somewhere else for a few days.
Does insurance cover mold?
Often, when it came from a sudden covered event like a burst pipe. Long-term neglect usually is not covered. We document the source so the carrier can make the call.
How long does it take?
A bathroom wall might be two days. A whole crawlspace or several rooms runs a week or more, plus clearance testing before the rebuild.
