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 Medford
Mold removal in Medford reaches out through Medford Square and South Medford, and our local pros handle all of it. The Mystic Lakes and the Middlesex Fells Reservoirs sit above the dam at Medford Square, so December's 4.91 inches is already in the river before it reaches South Medford.
Housing stock
Over four fifths of the housing here predates 1990 — 84.2 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1942. Pre-war triple-deckers and later frame on full basements, a 1942 median with more than four fifths standing before 1990, packed along the Mystic and up the Fells.
Climate and water risk
December is the wettest month here at 4.91 inches, part of an annual 48.44 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from WINCHESTER 0.7 SE, 2 miles off. December leads at 4.91 inches of a 48.44 inch year. The Fells reservoirs and the lakes are a controlled head of water; when they spill or when December rain hits a full system, the Mystic at the Square has no extra room, and 1942 cellars along the bank take it.
Common moisture and mold problems in Medford
- Mystic Lakes and Fells reservoirs spilling into the river after a wet December
- A dam at Medford Square holding that head against downtown basements
- Fells hillside houses retaining saturated ground on the uphill wall
- 1942 triple-deckers stacked so one leak reaches two households below

Frequently asked questions
Malden is three miles east. Is this the same Fells runoff?
Same reservation, different outlet. Malden sheds into Spot Pond Brook and a boxed river. Medford sheds into the Mystic Lakes, the reservoirs, and a dam at the Square. December's total can look similar; the controlled head of water is the local mechanism.
The lakes look pretty. Why would they wet a cellar at the Square?
Because they are a reservoir. A full lake in December has to spill, and the dam is the gate. Cellars downstream are in that pool. Scenic water is still a water table with a dam on it. Scenic water is still a water table with a dam on it, and cellars downstream are in that pool.
If a map lists Davis Square on this row, whose water is it actually?
Somerville's. Those names leaked across the line. Medford's water is the Mystic, the Fells reservoirs, and the dam at the Square. A wet cellar here is a controlled head of lake water, not a Davis Square party wall, and the repair that works in Somerville will not find this dam.
