Mold Removal & Remediation in Florence, KY
Containment, HEPA filtration, and antimicrobial treatment remove mold colonies at the source and stop cross-contamination through the rest of the home. Mold remediation removes affected porous materials and corrects the moisture source that allowed growth. The work is done under containment with HEPA filtration so spores are not carried into unaffected rooms, and the area is cleared only once the underlying moisture problem has been resolved.
Remediation is the step after the assessment, not before it. A local pro establishes how far the growth extends and what is feeding it, because removing what is visible while the moisture source is still running puts the same colony back in the same wall. Texas and several other states also set a square-footage point above which the work has to be done by a licensed remediator — the service note below covers where that line falls in this city.

Frequently asked questions
Covington takes Ohio River water. Why is this city different?
Elevation and rock. Those river towns sit on the terrace. This one sits on Lexington Limestone south of the bluff. Flood is not the job; karst is. June rain that a terrace house would see as sewer surcharge, this house sees as a wet wall with no river involved.
A small depression keeps coming back after we fill it. Worry?
On this limestone, yes enough to look. A repeating dip, a downspout that drains faster than it used to, or a lateral that never seems to stay dry can mean a void opening. Concentrated water dissolves the rock. Spreading the discharge is cheaper than a surprise hole.
The basement is from 1985. Shouldn't it have a drain?
Many do, and the drain still has to outlet. On karst that outlet can be a ditch that is also a swallow hole, or a storm sewer that drops into rock. A tile that dumps into the same limestone the rain is using is not a way out; it is a way in from another direction.
