Mold Removal & Remediation in Taunton, 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
Why is March harder than a bigger summer storm?
The ground is still frozen and the river is carrying melt, so 5.05 inches has nowhere to go but the cellar. A summer thunderstorm can be heavier and still leave, because the pipes and the Taunton have unused room. March loads a system that has not reset.
Is a house in the Weirs a different problem from one on higher ground?
Yes. The Weirs sit on mill-pond fill and peat: water from below. Higher lots seep from perched till after the same March storm. One is a table problem. The other is a cut problem. The 1965 median averages them.
Five inches of March rain and almost none of it soaked in. Why?
The subsoil was still frozen. Rain landing on ground that has not thawed cannot infiltrate at all, so effectively the whole total runs to the low points and the cellars. In July the same rain would largely disappear.
