Mold Damage Restoration

Mold can spread quickly in homes, especially in areas with high humidity or water damage. Left untreated, mold not only damages your property but also poses serious health risks to you and your family.

We specialize in professional mold remediation services for homeowners in Southeast Minnesota, helping to identify, remove, and prevent mold growth. Our team is equipped to handle mold infestations of all sizes, ensuring your home is safe and healthy.

Common Causes of Water Damage

High Humidity Levels

Minnesota’s humid summers can create the perfect conditions for mold growth, especially in basements, bathrooms, and attics.

Poor Ventilation

Areas with poor ventilation, such as bathrooms or basements, can trap moisture and lead to mold formation.

Water Leaks

Leaky pipes, roofs, or windows allow moisture to seep into walls and ceilings, providing an ideal environment for mold.

Condensation

During colder months, condensation can build up on windows and cold surfaces, contributing to mold growth if not addressed.

Flooding and Water Damage

Homes affected by flooding or water damage from storms, snowmelt, or burst pipes are at a higher risk of mold growth.

How We respond

  • We conduct a thorough inspection of your home to identify the extent of the mold problem and the underlying causes.

  • Using specialized equipment, we properly address mold from affected surfaces and airborne contamination.

  • We use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to clean the air to address any lingering mold spores.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Common signs of mold include musty odors, visible mold growth (often black, green, or white), water stains on walls or ceilings, and increased allergy-like symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, or difficulty breathing. If you suspect mold, it’s important to have a professional inspection to confirm and address the problem.

  • While small areas of mold (less than 10 square feet) may be manageable for homeowners using proper protective equipment, larger mold infestations require professional removal. Disturbing mold without proper containment can spread mold spores throughout your home, worsening the problem and increasing health risks.

  • The length of the remediation process depends on the size of the affected area and the extent of the mold growth. Small jobs can be completed within a day or two, while larger infestations may take several days. We will assess your situation and provide an estimated timeline based on the severity of the issue.

  • If the conditions that caused the mold are not properly addressed (such as ongoing moisture or humidity), mold can return. That’s why our mold remediation process includes addressing the underlying causes and providing tips to prevent future growth, such as improving ventilation and fixing leaks.

  • Coverage for mold remediation depends on your insurance policy and the cause of the mold. Some policies cover mold if it’s due to sudden water damage (like a burst pipe), but not if it’s due to long-term neglect (such as ongoing leaks). It’s best to check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage. We can assist with documentation if needed.
