Safe, Documented Mold Remediation in Metro Detroit
Mold is not just a cosmetic issue. It is a health hazard and a structural risk. We identify the source, remediate correctly, and restore healthy air quality in full compliance with IICRC S520 standards.
Mold Is More Than What You Can See
Visible mold is rarely the whole problem. Behind walls, under flooring, and inside HVAC systems, mold colonies grow where moisture is trapped well before there is a smell or visible sign.
Hidden Sources We Investigate
- Behind drywall following water intrusion
- Under flooring after flooding or leaks
- In attic sheathing from poor ventilation
- Inside HVAC ductwork and air handlers
- In crawlspaces with ground moisture
- Around windows and rooflines
Health and Property Risks
- Respiratory irritation and chronic symptoms
- Structural degradation of framing and sheathing
- Reduced indoor air quality throughout the home
- Restoration failure if moisture source is not fixed
- Insurance complications if not properly documented
- Recurrence if surface-only treatment is applied
Important: Surface cleaning and paint-over treatments do not constitute remediation. IICRC S520-compliant remediation requires source identification, containment, removal, and post-clearance verification.
Common Mold Scenarios We Handle
Whether the loss is recent or long-developing, we assess both visible and hidden contamination before recommending a scope of work.
Post-Water Damage Mold
Mold growth following a water loss often begins within 24-72 hours of saturation if drying is inadequate or delayed.
Attic and Crawlspace Mold
Poor ventilation, roof leaks, and ground moisture create ideal conditions in attics and crawlspaces, often discovered during inspections or sales.
HVAC and Ductwork Contamination
Mold in air-handling systems can circulate spores throughout a home. We assess, contain, and coordinate HVAC cleaning as part of full remediation.
Pre-Purchase and Insurance Inspections
Buying a home or dealing with a claim? We provide professional assessment and documentation to inform decisions and support claims accurately.
Our Mold Remediation Process
Mold remediation done correctly is a structured process, not a surface treatment. Every step is documented and performed to IICRC S520 standards.
1
Inspection and Moisture Source Identification
We use professional moisture meters, thermal imaging, and visual inspection to locate both visible contamination and its source. Fixing the source is the foundation of any successful remediation.
2
Containment Setup
Affected areas are isolated using negative air pressure containment barriers to prevent cross-contamination of unaffected spaces during remediation activity.
3
Removal and Treatment
Contaminated porous materials are removed and disposed of per protocol. Non-porous surfaces are cleaned, HEPA-vacuumed, and treated with EPA-registered antimicrobials.
4
Air Filtration and HEPA Scrubbing
Commercial HEPA air scrubbers run continuously throughout remediation to capture airborne spores and improve indoor air quality.
5
Post-Remediation Verification
Final clearance testing confirms that remediation goals have been met before containment is removed and the space is returned to occupants.
6
Repairs and Reconstruction
Once clearance is achieved, we coordinate or perform repairs including drywall, flooring, insulation, and framing to restore the property to pre-loss condition.
Insurance Coordination and Documentation
Mold claims are scrutinized closely. Missing documentation, vague scopes, or improper treatment can result in denied or underpaid claims.
We approach every remediation project with the insurance process in mind. Our documentation is written to meet carrier requirements and support your claim, not just complete the job.
- Pre-remediation photographic documentation
- Moisture readings and mapping reports
- Scope of work aligned with coverage
- Clearance testing results
- Complete chain-of-custody documentation
We advocate for you. Insurance claims are confusing and time-sensitive. We clarify coverage questions, help prevent missed items, and communicate directly with adjusters on your behalf so the work is covered correctly.
Our role is to ensure your home is restored properly, not just quickly.
Built on Standards, Not Shortcuts
We do not disappear mid-project, cut corners on containment, or recommend surface treatments when proper remediation is required. Every project is handled with the precision and documentation your home and your insurance claim requires.
