What a licensed remediation job actually involves, in the order it happens. Every step below is the contractor's work, not ours.
-
Step 1: Assessment
A licensed assessor establishes whether there is growth, how far it extends, and where the moisture is coming from.
-
Step 2: Containment
Barriers and negative air pressure go up first, so disturbing material does not move spores into clean rooms.
-
Step 3: Removal
Porous material that cannot be cleaned comes out - drywall cut past the moisture line, insulation, carpet pad, cabinet bases.
-
Step 4: Drying
Dehumidifiers and air movers bring the structure back to a dry standard, with readings logged from the material rather than the surface.
What drives moisture problems in Lakewood
The Lakewood area our local pros cover for mold removal takes in Green Mountain Village and Edgemont. Green Mountain and the Dakota hogback shed onto Denver Formation clay, and May's 2.89 inches often arrives as hail that overwhelms downspouts on 1970s ranch stock.
Housing stock
About three quarters of the housing here predates 1990 — 71.7 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1977. Brick ranches and split-levels on basements, median 1977, stepped up against the hogback and across the clay flats toward the city.
Climate and water risk
May is the wettest month here at 2.89 inches, part of an annual 17.75 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from DENVER 6.1 WSW, 1 miles off. May is both the wettest month and hail season. Water and ice hit roofs and gutters together, fill the downspouts, and then run the yard across expansive clay that cracks in the dry months and takes that burst straight to the basement wall.
Common moisture and mold problems in Lakewood
- Hail-clogged gutters dumping a May cloudburst at the foundation of 1970s ranches
- Denver Formation clay shrinking in winter and swelling in May enough to crack basement walls
- Hogback lots shedding rock and water onto downhill units after a short violent storm
- Window wells on split-levels that fill with hail melt and then overflow into the lower level

Frequently asked questions
The rain total is under three inches. Why is May the problem month?
Intensity and ice. May storms here are short and can include hail that fills gutters before the rain has a chance to leave them. Three inches arriving as a cloudburst on cracked clay is not the same as three inches of drizzle on loam.
The basement wall cracked in a dry month. Is that still water?
It is clay moving. Denver Formation clay loses volume in a dry winter and the wall follows it; May swell then pushes the other way. The crack is a soil-mechanics problem that becomes a water problem the first time a gutter dumps into it.
A window well filled with hail. Is that enough to flood a lower level?
Yes. Hail blocks the well drain, then melts into a lined pit against a window that was never meant to be a dam. The lower level of a split-level is only a sill above that well. Clearing the drain before May is worth more than a larger downspout.
