Mold Removal & Remediation in Frankfort, KY
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
The capital sits in a gorge. Is that better drainage or a worse outlet?
Worse outlet. The palisades shed July's 5.44 inches onto a floor that can only dump into a river already filling the gap. 'Gorge' sounds like drainage; it works as a funnel. North Frankfort is the low end of it, so those streets surcharge while the bench above sends the same cells down joints in the limestone. Rock on both sides means one way out, and the town is standing in it.
The house is on the palisade bench, not the floor. Is the river still the job?
Not as flood. As karst, yes — that bench is limestone, and July cells go down joints and into the hillside basement. The floor is a river job. The bench is a karst job. Same wettest month, stacked in a gorge. A pump that works on the floor will not read on the bench.
1937 is the famous crest. Why does an ordinary July still stain North Frankfort?
1937 was the river at record. Ordinary July is the palisades plus a river that does not need a record to hold the outfalls. North Frankfort cellars take that combination most summers. Waiting for another 1937 is how the ordinary year gets ignored.
