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 Rochester
Mold removal in Rochester reaches out through Stafford Square and South Lebanon, and our local pros handle all of it. October is the wettest month at 5.14 inches, and the Cocheco River drops through a former mill district where the oldest housing was built to serve it.
Housing stock
Building in Rochester clusters in the late 1970s: the median unit dates to 1978, with 69.8 percent finished before 1990. Frame and brick mill-era housing predominates with a median build year of 1978, mixed with later construction on the slopes above the river.
Climate and water risk
Rochester averages 51.13 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at ROCHESTER 0.3 miles away, with October the wettest month at 5.14 inches. A 51.13 inch annual total with an autumn maximum sets up the winter. Ground saturated in October freezes with that water in place, thaw cycles work joints wider through the cold months, and the spring release arrives at openings the winter enlarged.
Common moisture and mold problems in Rochester
- An autumn rainfall maximum saturating the ground immediately before the first hard freeze
- Repeated midwinter thaw cycles widening joints rather than one continuous freeze
- Mill-era masonry construction built without damp-proofing along the river corridor
- Ice damming at the eaves of older steep roofs during those same thaw cycles

Frequently asked questions
The damage shows in March. Did something happen in March?
Because the water never left. Ground saturating in autumn freezes with that moisture in place, and each thaw cycle works cracks and joints wider through the winter. By the March melt, the openings are larger than they were in the fall and there is a great deal of water available.
Are ice dams caused by the roof or by something else?
Almost always insulation, showing up as a roofing symptom. Heat escaping into the attic melts snow on the upper roof, the meltwater refreezes at the cold eave, and the ridge that forms backs water under the covering. Replacing the surface without addressing heat loss reproduces the dam.
This was a mill town. Does that affect the older housing?
That it moves moisture rather than blocking it. Brick and lime mortar of that period transport water by design, and no damp-proof course was installed. Managing what reaches the outside of the wall, and the humidity inside it, is more productive than trying to make the wall itself a barrier.
