What a licensed remediation job actually involves, in the order it happens. Every step below is the contractor's work, not ours.
-
Step 1: Assessment
A licensed assessor establishes whether there is growth, how far it extends, and where the moisture is coming from.
-
Step 2: Containment
Barriers and negative air pressure go up first, so disturbing material does not move spores into clean rooms.
-
Step 3: Removal
Porous material that cannot be cleaned comes out - drywall cut past the moisture line, insulation, carpet pad, cabinet bases.
-
Step 4: Drying
Dehumidifiers and air movers bring the structure back to a dry standard, with readings logged from the material rather than the surface.
What drives moisture problems in Lewiston
Our local pros provide mold removal services in Lewiston and the surrounding area, including South Lewiston, New Auburn, and Robinson Corner. A 1957-median mill city on the Androscoggin, 85.7 percent of it standing before 1990, with an October peak of 4.90 inches arriving as the river and the first freeze both come up.
Housing stock
The median home in Lewiston dates to 1957, and 85.7 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Franco-American triple-deckers and mill housing on full basements, packed on the river terraces and the slope up from the Androscoggin toward Auburn.
Climate and water risk
The nearest long-term record — LEWISTON, 2.3 miles out — puts the annual normal at 45.18 inches, with October heaviest at 4.9. October leads at 4.90 inches of a 45.18 inch year. That late rain loads the terraces just as the Androscoggin starts to run ice, and cellars cut next to the mill canals take both the rain and the river's stage.
Common moisture and mold problems in Lewiston
- Androscoggin ice and autumn rain loading mill-canal cellars at the same time of year
- Triple-decker stacks sharing a single wet party wall across three households
- October saturation freezing in place against 1950s foundation walls with no remaining exterior drain
- A steep terrace where every roof discharges onto the uphill wall of the next house down toward the river

Frequently asked questions
The canal has not turned a wheel in fifty years. Still a cellar problem?
The water is still in it. Mill canals along the Androscoggin were cut below the terraces and were never drained to a dry standard, so they set the water table the cellars were built against. A closed mill leaves the channel.
Ice on the river and rain on the roof in the same week. Which one enters the cellar?
Often both, on different clocks. The rain soaks the terrace and the freeze locks it against the wall; the river ice raises stage in the canals. A cellar here can take yard water and canal water in the same October week without either looking like a flood from the street.
Three families share this wall. Whose leak is it?
The building's, until someone opens it. In a triple-decker the party wall is continuous structure, so a roof or plumbing failure at one address travels before it shows. Sorting the path usually has to happen before anyone can honestly assign the source.
