Mold Removal & Remediation in Longmont, 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
2013 was St. Vrain. Does a house off the creek still take that kind of water?
Not that kind. Off the creek, May is laterals and hail, not a mountain flood. 2013 is the downtown story and it is real. Copying it onto a plains lot a mile from the channel misses the ditch that actually wets that basement. The creek is a corridor. The laterals are a grid.
Boulder is next up the creek. Same Front Range moisture job?
Boulder sits against the foothills and takes canyon flash. Longmont sits on the plains where the St. Vrain has already left the canyon, plus a grid of irrigation ditches. 2013 hit both. Ordinary years do not. Their job is a mountain wall. This one is a plains creek and a ditch. Leave the Flatirons story in the foothills.
Sixteen inches a year. Why is a basement wet in July when May is the peak?
May is the rain peak. July is the irrigation peak. Laterals run when the gauge is quiet, and they leak into the same basements. A sump that runs in July on a dry week is the ditch, not a missed May storm. The 16-inch climate is the brochure. The lateral is the load.
