Mold Removal & Remediation in Greenwood Village, CO
Containment, HEPA filtration, and antimicrobial treatment eliminate mold colonies at the source and prevent cross-contamination throughout the property. 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 hairline in the basement wall opens in May and tightens by August. What is moving?
The claystone is. Denver Formation beds under this suburb take water in May, when snowmelt and rain arrive together, and swell against the wall; they dry and shrink through the summer. A crack that tracks that calendar is the soil speaking, not the concrete failing in a new way. Managing the water that reaches the clay — roof discharge carried well away, grade that still falls from the wall — reduces the swing. Filling the crack alone does not.
The yard is dry by June. Why was the basement wet in May?
May is the overlap month. Snow is still coming off the Front Range and the first real storms of the year land on ground that is already wet from melt. The claystone takes that pulse, the backfill trench fills, and a basement wall that will be dry in July is wet for three weeks. June looking dry is not a contradiction; it is the other half of the same cycle.
The office lots next door seem to drain onto our street. Does that matter?
It can load a basin that was sized for houses. Pavement sheds May melt and rain almost immediately, and if that volume enters the same detention the residential streets use, the basin rises faster than the design assumed. Houses on the low side of that system take the extra as surface water at the curb and as a higher table in the backfill. The office park is not leaking into your basement; it is filling the shared outlet first.
