Mold Removal & Remediation in Littleton, 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.
Every pro in our network is licensed and insured in Colorado.
Frequently asked questions
The High Line is a ditch, not a river. Why would a basement along it wet?
Because it is a full ditch for weeks in May. Snowmelt keeps it charged, and unlined or leaky reaches put that water into the terrace. A walk-out that faces the easement is looking at a water table, not a park. The Platte can be behaving itself the whole time.
Eighteen inches a year. How is the Platte a moisture problem?
The annual figure is the wrong one. May melt plus a Front Range burst puts a season into the channel in a week. Terrace groundwater rises with the river even when the bank holds. A basement on that terrace is a hole in a water table the mountains are still filling.
The house is a 1982 walk-out. Was the canal in the original grading?
As a view, yes. As a drain, often no. Lots were sold to the easement as if the ditch were decorative. Walk-out floors sit near ditch grade, and May is when that grade is a water surface. Interior coatings will not stop a canal that is leaking on the other side of the patio.
