Mold Removal & Remediation in Livonia, MI
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.
The pro who inspects is the pro who quotes
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.

Category 3 black-water losses are handled with full PPE, biohazard disposal, and professional disinfection to restore safe conditions.
Frequently asked questions
The basement was dry all winter. Why does it wet in May?
Deep frost opens the joints first. A 1964 pour on this clay works through the winter, and the melt here arrives compressed rather than gradual, so May's 3.61 inches reaches a wall that has just been pulled apart. On the house side of the parkway the lot is at mill-pond grade, so the table rises to meet that opening instead of waiting at the surface. A dry January is not evidence of a sound wall.
The parkway looks like a dry greenbelt. Is it still a floodplain?
It is. The park was laid along the Middle Rouge because that land flooded. A ranch basement on the house side of Hines is still on that grade. May rain raising the river a few feet wets soils the 1964 pour never excluded.
A 1964 ranch should have a basement drain. Why does May still win?
Many of these lots never got exterior tile, and the ones that did often outlet into a swale the parkway later cut off. Tile that cannot fall is a loop, not a drain. May then recirculates at the footing of a wall that was poured wet.
