What a licensed remediation job actually involves, in the order it happens. Every step below is the contractor's work, not ours.
-
Step 1: Assessment
A licensed assessor establishes whether there is growth, how far it extends, and where the moisture is coming from.
-
Step 2: Containment
Barriers and negative air pressure go up first, so disturbing material does not move spores into clean rooms.
-
Step 3: Removal
Porous material that cannot be cleaned comes out - drywall cut past the moisture line, insulation, carpet pad, cabinet bases.
-
Step 4: Drying
Dehumidifiers and air movers bring the structure back to a dry standard, with readings logged from the material rather than the surface.
What drives moisture problems in Hammond
Our local pros provide mold removal services in Hammond and the surrounding area, including Roxana, Central Hammond, and Southside. The Grand Calumet cuts a lakefill industrial city at the state line, so June rain lands on fill over marsh and mill spoil, with Wolf Lake as a second water table on the west side.
Housing stock
Close to nine in ten of the housing here predates 1990 — 92.5 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1952. Steel-era frame and brick on full basements, median 1952, with 93 percent predating 1990, from the Calumet grid to the Wolf Lake blocks.
Climate and water risk
Of the 40.31 inches that arrive in an average year, 4.77 fall in June; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 5.8 miles away at LANSING. June's 4.77 inches is a warm-season cell peak on fill that was never dry. The Grand Calumet holds a working-river table under the mill grid; Wolf Lake holds another under the west side. Gary can have the dunes and the Works. Hammond's water is the river cut and the lake that is not Michigan.
Common moisture and mold problems in Hammond
- Grand Calumet fill holding a mill-river water table against 1952 cellars
- Wolf Lake setting a second table under the west-side blocks
- Lakefill and mill spoil perching June rain in pockets with no designed drain
- A 93-percent pre-1990 stock with original drains that assumed the Calumet would stay in its banks

Frequently asked questions
The Grand Calumet is a working river. Does industrial fill change the groundwater?
It is the groundwater. Fill over marsh and mill spoil holds the Calumet's table, and a 1952 cellar on that grid can wet from below with the river inside its banks. June rain is extra. The fill is the climate. Lafayette's Wabash story is a natural floodplain. This is a cut through spoil.
Gary is next. Why isn't this the same lakefront mill job?
Gary faces Lake Michigan and the dunes at the Works. Hammond faces the Grand Calumet and Wolf Lake at the state line, with Michigan only as a distant northern edge. June totals can match. The water that wets the cellar is a working river and a small lake, not the big one. Leave the dunes story next door.
Wolf Lake is on the west side. Is the Calumet still involved there?
As the other table. West-side blocks can wet from Wolf Lake on a fair day, from the Calumet on a high stage, or from both. A sump that runs when the small lake is up is Wolf. One that runs with the river gauges is the Calumet. Mixing them is how the wrong outfall gets blamed.
