Professional Mold Removal - Done the Right Way, Step by Step

Each stage is performed by the independent remediation contractor the call reaches, following industry standards.

  1. Step 1: Assessment

    An assessor identifies the presence of mold, determines how far the growth extends, and locates the source of moisture.

  2. Step 2: Containment

    Protective barriers and negative air pressure are established to prevent spores from spreading into unaffected areas.

  3. Step 3: Removal

    Porous materials that cannot be safely cleaned are removed — including drywall past the moisture line, insulation, carpet pad, and damaged cabinet bases.

  4. Step 4: Drying

    Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers return the structure to a dry standard, with moisture readings taken from the material itself rather than the surface.

What drives moisture problems in Edina

The Edina area independent local pros cover for mold removal takes in Normandale Park, The Heights, and Brookview Heights. Minnehaha Creek and Nine Mile Creek still cross peat around Lake Cornelia, and the 1970s housing was graded over those pockets as if they were upland.

Housing stock

Over four fifths of the housing here predates 1990 — 78.3 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1971. A 1971 median is rambler and two-story on full basements, 78 percent pre-1990. Stock on the creek corridors sits over peat; stock on the rises sits on till. The peat lots take July rain from below. The till lots take it from the side the builder called a backyard swale.

Climate and water risk

July is the wettest month here at 4.89 inches, part of an annual 34.02 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from EDINA 1.9 SSE, 1.8 miles off. July's 4.89 inches is the peak of a 34-inch year. The load here is not deep frost: it is peat around the lakes holding a summer water table, so a 1971 basement on a Cornelia pocket takes July cells from below while the ground two streets up is still shedding.

Common moisture and mold problems in Edina

  • Peat around Lake Cornelia feeding 1970s basements from below after every July cell
  • Minnehaha Creek overbanking into backyard swales that were platted as lawn
  • Nine Mile Creek corridor lots where fill over peat still collects the old wetland
  • Rambler basements cut below grade on till that perches the same July rain the peat lots take as groundwater

Frequently asked questions

The basement wets from below with no crack anywhere. What is that?

Peat around the lake. It holds a July table right under these 1970s basements and feeds them from underneath, so there is no entry point to find. The floor is the entry.

Minnehaha Creek is a parkway. Can it still wet a rambler a block off?

When July fills the corridor, the water table in the peat rises sideways, and a basement at that grade is a hole in the creek. You do not need water over the parkway path; you need the peat full. A rambler a block off the named water can still sit in that table.

A rise two streets from Cornelia. Is that still a peat job?

Usually not. Till on the rises perches rain and sends it into original tile; the peat is downhill. A wet wall on the rise is a clay-tile story. Treating every wet basement in town as a lake-peat problem will have you looking at Cornelia from a lot that never touches it.
