Mold Removal & Remediation in Lakewood, 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.
Independent local crews · scoped at the property
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
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.
