Mold Removal & Remediation in Boulder, CO
Containment, HEPA filtration, and antimicrobial treatment remove mold colonies at the source and stop cross-contamination through the rest of the home. Mold remediation removes affected porous materials and corrects the moisture source that allowed growth. The work is done under containment with HEPA filtration so spores are not carried into unaffected rooms, and the area is cleared only once the underlying moisture problem has been resolved.
Remediation is the step after the assessment, not before it. A local pro establishes how far the growth extends and what is feeding it, because removing what is visible while the moisture source is still running puts the same colony back in the same wall. Texas and several other states also set a square-footage point above which the work has to be done by a licensed remediator — the service note below covers where that line falls in this city.

Frequently asked questions
A Flatirons canyon pulse is over in hours. Why is the fan house still wet on Wednesday?
The pulse is Boulder Creek. The hangover is the Fountain Formation. Water that entered the conglomerate above a cut house is still moving downslope days after the channel has dropped. Downtown's flood is a few hours. The fan seepage is a multi-day job, and they are not the same May event.
Snowmelt is not rain. Does that still count as May's 3.02 inches in the basement?
On the creek bottom, yes, and then some. May here is melt plus a storm, delivered down a canyon. The yearly 19.68 inches looks small; the pulse is not. A cottage on alluvium takes the Front Range's May in hours, which is a timing problem the annual number hides.
Fountain conglomerate looks like good bearing. Why would a 1977 cut wall still seep?
Bearing is not drainage. That era poured against the fan and trusted the grade, often with no tile on the buried face. Conglomerate conducts as well as it carries, so the wall is a dam on a wet cut. The fix is a drain at the fan, not a coating on the inside of 1977 concrete.
