Basement Mold Removal

Basement mold. You probably know if you have it.

Homeowners usually discover basement mold on their own. It may be visible on walls or baseboards, or there may be a smell.

Eliminate the causes, eliminate the mold.

The major source of mold in a basement is water from:

Gutter problems.
Improper footer drains.
Faulty sump pumps.
Groundwater seepage.
Plumbing leaks.
Flooding.

The second cause is "mold food":

That is any porous material, including wood framing,sheetrock, insulation and carpeting. These materials get wet, the mold spores feast, and suddenly, you've got mold, possibly the infamous 'black mold'.

These issues, coupled with other mold-friendly conditions, created the basement mold problem and must be corrected.

The Basement Mold Remediation Process: Phase I (Abatement)

First, the water and food-source issues must be addressed. There's no sense in removing the mold until you remove the conditions that let it grow. Eliminate the cause, eliminate the mold.

The abatement process in finished basements includes removing damaged carpets and sheet-rock, which we'll also haul away for you. We leave timber framing exposed 4' from floor, eliminating a future breeding ground.

Remediation Process: Phase II (Cleansing)

After the basement is dry and deficiencies are corrected, the existing mold has to be removed. We use a two-step process:

1. Spray cleaner.
2. Biocide.

(In unfinished basements, we also use a negative air machine.)

All our products are environmentally friendly, and very green.

We give you a 20-year written guarantee that the mold will not return.
