Mold Removal & Remediation in Medford, MA
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 river is well inside its banks and downtown basements are wet. How?
There is a controlled head above them. The dam at the Square holds a level against downtown whatever the channel looks like, so a wet December reaches cellars with no visible flooding anywhere. Bank height is the wrong thing to watch here.
The lakes look pretty. Why would they wet a cellar at the Square?
Because they are a reservoir. A full lake in December has to spill, and the dam is the gate. Cellars downstream are in that pool. Scenic water is still a water table with a dam on it. Scenic water is still a water table with a dam on it, and cellars downstream are in that pool.
The uphill wall is holding the hill behind it. Does that change what we can do?
It changes the whole approach. A wall retaining saturated reservation ground carries pressure as well as water, so the work is about relieving what is behind it rather than sealing the face. Coating the inside moves nothing.
