Mold Removal & Remediation in Delaware, OH
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.
No obligation: the assessment comes before any scope
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.

Frequently asked questions
The lake is north of town. Why would the dam wet a Sandusky Street cellar?
The dam sets the pool for miles. May rain on a held Olentangy has no drop through downtown, so the extra goes into till and cellars rather than downstream. The lake is not scenery; it is the water table under the historic grid.
A 1995 slab on the west side. Is that still an Olentangy job?
Usually not. That stock sits on Crosby silt that ponds May rain at the plate because the farm tile was cut. The river job is downtown. The silt job is the new west. Treating both as lake flooding misses the farm drainage.
The neighbor's cellar flooded and then ours did. Are they connected?
Through the party wall, in effect. On the square these cellars share masonry, so water entering one moves along the shared wall into the next before either owner sees it. The first address to flood is not necessarily the one with the problem.
