Mold Removal & Remediation in Great Falls, MT
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.
Often needed alongside
- Mold Inspection & Testing

- Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup
Category 3 black-water losses are handled with full PPE, biohazard disposal, and professional disinfection to restore safe conditions.
Frequently asked questions
Fifteen inches a year. What is actually wetting these basements?
The thaw and the wind, not the annual total. A Chinook can melt a winter's snow in a day and put it against a wall that has no time to drain, and a June cell on a strong west wind goes under flashing that was never tested that way. The gauge understates both events.
The roof looks fine after a windy storm. Still worth opening a wall?
Often. Wind-blown rain here enters at caps and sidewalls rather than through the field of the roof, so the covering can be intact while the top plates are wet. The leak path is lateral, which is why the stain shows up a room away from any roof damage.
Clay in a dry climate. How does that open a basement?
By shrinking. Long dry spells pull the clay back from the footing and leave a gap; the next June cell or Chinook thaw uses that gap as a channel. The movement and the water are one cycle, not two separate defects.
