Mold Removal & Remediation in Rock Springs, WY
Containment, HEPA filtration, and antimicrobial treatment remove mold colonies at the source and stop cross-contamination through the rest of the home. 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.

Frequently asked questions
Ten inches a year. Why close the crawlspace at all?
Because the winter is long, not because the rain is heavy. A closed crawlspace at this elevation traps whatever moisture was in the ground at freeze-up and holds it until May. The annual total is small; the season the space cannot dry is not.
Clinker under the lot looks like gravel. Treat it as drainage?
Treat it as a pipe you did not install. Burned-coal clinker transmits water laterally, so a wet crawlspace with a dry yard is a clinker signature. Finding where that bed daylights, or cutting it off with a trench, is the repair; waiting for a wetter climate is not.
The old brick storefront weeps and the new house next door does not. Age?
Assembly. Lime mortar was meant to pass moisture, and at 10 inches a year that is usually a stain, not a flood. The new house is framed and flashed differently. Painting the brick shut is how a stain becomes a spall.
