Mold Removal & Remediation in Medford, MA
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.
Every pro in our network is licensed and insured in Massachusetts.
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.
