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 Kent

Independent local pros provide mold removal services in Kent and the surrounding area, including South End, Downtown, and West River. A downtown dam holds the Cuyahoga through campus, so July's 4.79 inches of a 42.25 inch year lands on a Portage esker town whose mill-district cellars already sit in a pool the dam will not let fall.

Housing stock

About three quarters of the housing here predates 1990 — 73.3 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1972. 1970s apartments and older mill frame, a 1972 median with 73 percent standing before 1990, West River and the Mill District on Cuyahoga silt and the esker ridges on sand that should drain and then perches on till.

Climate and water risk

Kent averages 42.25 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at KENT 1.5 W 1.5 miles away, with July the wettest month at 4.79 inches. July's 4.79 inches is a summer peak on a dammed Cuyahoga. Akron's water is ravines on sandstone; this water is a held river through campus, and a 1972 cellar in the Mill District takes the pool from below.

Frequently asked questions

Akron is ten miles west on the same river. Why isn't a ravine the job here?

Akron sits on sandstone ravines that dump to the Cuyahoga. This city sits on a dammed reach through campus, on a Portage esker. July water here is a held pool and perched sand, not a ravine sheet. The river name is shared; the dam is not.

The dam is a waterfall for photos. Why would it wet a mill cellar?

The dam sets the pool. July rain on that pool has no drop through the Mill District, so the extra goes into silt. A 1972 cellar on that terrace is in the Cuyahoga whether the cascade looks pretty.

The apartment is on the esker, not the river. Is the Cuyahoga still involved?

As a flood, no. As a perch, sometimes. Esker sand over till holds July rain in pockets, and those pockets drain toward the river. A musty closet on the ridge is often the lens, not the dam. The camera tells you which.
