Mold Removal for Durham older houses, basements and rentals

Durham has a lot of older housing, from bungalows near downtown to mid-century ranches, and many have basements or crawl spaces. Older plumbing, older roofs and below-grade rooms all add to the risk of long-term dampness, and mold follows.

Our mold removal Durham service starts with a free inspection. From there we handle the mold remediation Durham homes, basements, crawl spaces and rentals need. Mold testing Durham homeowners ask about is available when you want to know which type of mold you have, or want a record before and after cleanup. Ask during your free inspection. See our mold inspection and mold testing service.

Basements, older plumbing and rentals in Durham

Basements collect moisture through walls and floors, and a basement that stays at high humidity grows mold on stored items, walls and framing. Older cast-iron and galvanized plumbing can leak slowly inside walls. In rental properties, a small leak can go unnoticed for months. We inspect, find the moisture source, remove the mold and tell you what else needs repair.

Local tip: Landlords and property managers: ask for a quote when a tenant reports a musty smell. Early action is much cheaper than waiting.

What Mold Remediation Involves

Mold remediation means removing mold growth safely, cleaning the area and fixing the moisture that fed it. Mold cannot be removed from a home completely, because spores are in the air everywhere, but growth can be removed and kept from coming back.

Color tells you little. Dark mold is often called black mold, but only a lab test identifies the species. We treat all visible mold growth seriously.

Signs of a Mold Problem in Durham

  • A musty smell that does not go away
  • Dark, green or white patches on walls, ceilings, wood or insulation
  • Water stains, peeling paint or bubbling drywall
  • Condensation on windows, ducts or pipes
  • Allergy-like symptoms that get worse at home
  • A history of leaks, flooding or a damp crawl space

Our Mold Remediation Process in Durham

1. Inspect

We find visible mold, check for hidden moisture and identify what is causing it.

2. Contain

We limit the spread of spores to the rest of the house while we work.

3. Remove

We remove mold growth from affected surfaces, and remove materials that cannot be cleaned.

4. Clean

We clean and treat the area, and use HEPA-grade vacuums to pull up loose debris.

5. Fix the moisture

We tell you what needs to change, such as ventilation, a leak or a damp crawl space.

6. Final check

We check the area and walk you through the results.
