Mold Removal & Remediation in Lanham, MD
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.
No obligation: the assessment comes before any scope
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.
Often needed alongside
- Mold Inspection & Testing
An assessor determines whether mold is present, identifies where it is growing, and measures how far it has spread — before any remediation quote is issued.

Category 3 black-water losses are handled with full PPE, biohazard disposal, and professional disinfection to restore safe conditions.
Frequently asked questions
The yard never puddles. Why is the brick damp at the bottom after July storms?
The water went through the gravel and stopped on the clay. That perched layer sits at the depth of a 1972 slab, so the yard can look perfect while the brick at grade is wicking. Puddles are a clay-surface problem; this town is a gravel-surface problem. A moisture line at the first course after a dry-looking storm is the contact, not a sprinkler you missed.
Could new gutters actually make July worse if they dump at the corner?
Yes. Concentrating a 4.51 inch month at one corner of a gravel lot is how you overfill the perch beside that wall. The original hangers often do exactly that. Extending the discharge well away from the house, onto a splash that still falls away, is the version that helps. A gutter that ends at the foundation is a hose aimed at the brick.
The grade looks flat. Is regrading worth it on a lot this small?
The first six feet are worth it. You are not trying to reach a river; you are trying to stop July from sitting against brick while it soaks into the gravel. Settled 1970s grade often falls toward the house by an inch or two, which is enough to keep the drip line wet. Restoring a fall away from the wall is a small amount of dirt and a large change in how long that first course stays damp.
