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 Waterville
Our local pros provide mold removal services in Waterville and the surrounding area, including Hayden Corner and Waterville Main Street Historic District. Ticonic Falls drops the Kennebec through a mill city, so October's 4.9 inches lands on mill fill the falls were supposed to keep dry and a hill that sheds onto it.
Housing stock
Close to nine in ten of the housing here predates 1990 — 91.6 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1959. Mill-era brick and frame on full basements, median 1959, with 92 percent predating 1990, from the Hathaway-side flats up the Colby hill.
Climate and water risk
Of the 43.36 inches that arrive in an average year, 4.9 fall in October; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 1.3 miles away at WATERVILLE TRTMT PLT. October's 4.9 inches is the last big input before freeze-up. At the falls the Kennebec is fast, but ice and mill fill still wet the lowest blocks; on the hill the same rain is already in the soil when the ground locks. Brunswick's October is tidal. This one is a falls above tide.
Common moisture and mold problems in Waterville
- Kennebec ice and mill fill wetting the Hathaway-side blocks even with Ticonic Falls dropping the river
- Colby-hill streets shedding October rain onto the next downhill mill cellar
- October rain that then freeze-thaws against mill rubble until spring
- A 92-percent pre-1990 stock with rubble mill walls and no damp-proof course

Frequently asked questions
Ticonic Falls is a drop. Does that keep the mill blocks dry?
It keeps the river from being tidal. It does not keep mill fill from holding October rain, and it does not stop ice from stacking at the head of the falls. A cellar on the Hathaway side can wet from fill and ice with the river dropping over the ledge as designed. The falls is a power story, not a dry-cellar story.
Brunswick already claimed an October coastal peak. What is left inland?
A falls above tide, mill fill, and a hill. Brunswick's October lands on marine clay the Androscoggin tide holds. Waterville's October lands on Kennebec fill and then freezes. Same month, different end of Maine's river system. Copying a Merrymeeting Bay story onto Ticonic Falls misses the ice.
The house is on the Colby hill. Is the Kennebec still involved?
Not as flood. As the outlet, the drains still run to it, and the hill's own problem is October rain that freezes in the uphill wall. You have left the mill fill and kept New England freeze-up. That is a different wet wall, not a dry one.
