We follow industry standards for mold remediation. First, we inspect the affected area to find the moisture source—often from basement leaks or crawl space humidity common in older homes near Broad Ripple or Fountain Square. We contain the area to prevent spores spreading, remove contaminated materials like drywall or insulation, and clean with HEPA vacuums and antimicrobial treatments. Finally, we address the underlying moisture issue to prevent regrowth.

Yes, snowmelt water damage is a common issue for Indianapolis residents, especially near downtown or in neighborhoods like Meridian-Kessler. When snow melts and seeps through foundation cracks or crawl space vents, it can soak insulation and create moisture problems. Our team extracts the water, dries the crawl space thoroughly, removes and replaces wet insulation, and checks for mold growth. We also help seal entry points to prevent future snowmelt issues.
