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 Auburn

The Auburn area independent local pros cover for mold removal takes in South Street and Grover Street. Owasco Lake's outlet is a millrace through downtown, so October's 4.47 inches lands on a Finger Lakes city whose water table is a controlled lake with a dam at the foot.

Housing stock

Close to nine in ten of the housing here predates 1990 — 93.4 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1947. Mill-era brick and frame on full basements, a 1947 median with 93.4 percent standing before 1990, packed along the outlet and up from the lake.

Climate and water risk

October alone accounts for 10.1 percent of the 44.26 inches this area sees in an average year, on 1991–2020 normals recorded 1.1 miles away at AUBURN. October leads at 4.47 inches of a 44.26 inch year. Owasco is a reservoir with a dam; a wet October on that lake raises the outlet through the millraces, and 1947 cellars downtown take the lake from below because those races were covered, not removed.

Common moisture and mold problems in Auburn

  • Owasco outlet millraces still carrying lake water under downtown blocks
  • A dam at the foot of the lake holding October rain against those races
  • 1947 masonry on a stock that is 93 percent pre-1990 with no later drain on the outlet face
  • Finger Lakes humidity and a cold October that never dries a wet cellar before freeze-up

Frequently asked questions

The lake is south of town. Why would it wet a downtown cellar?

Because the outlet is the lake leaving. Millraces carried that water through downtown; covering them did not delete it. A wet October raises Owasco, the dam holds the head, and the races deliver it into 1947 masonry.

Skaneateles is seven miles east. Is this the same Finger Lakes problem?

Same belt, different outlet. Auburn is Owasco's dam and millraces. Skaneateles has its own lake and a different village hydrology. October rain here is a controlled outlet through downtown, not a generic lakeshore crawlspace.

Owasco is a lake with a dam. Do the covered millraces wet downtown without a storm?

They do. The races still connect to the lake. A cellar on that terrace can wet from below because the industrial hydrology is still running. The dam just keeps the supply steady, so a fair October day can still put lake water into 1947 masonry.
