Fast, professional mold removal

What a licensed remediation job actually involves, in the order it happens. Every step below is the contractor's work, not ours.

  1. Step 1: Assessment

    A licensed assessor establishes whether there is growth, how far it extends, and where the moisture is coming from.

  2. Step 2: Containment

    Barriers and negative air pressure go up first, so disturbing material does not move spores into clean rooms.

  3. Step 3: Removal

    Porous material that cannot be cleaned comes out - drywall cut past the moisture line, insulation, carpet pad, cabinet bases.

  4. 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 Ann Arbor

Our local pros take mold removal work across Ann Arbor, from the middle out to North Burns Park, Burns Park, and Old Fourth Ward. A university roughly doubles this city's occupancy during term and empties much of it between, which changes who is present when something fails.

Housing stock

The median home in Ann Arbor dates to 1971, and 73.5 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Frame and brick housing on full basements predominates with a median build year of 1971, including a large stock of converted and purpose-built student rentals.

Climate and water risk

May is the wettest month here at 3.85 inches, part of an annual 35.88 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from ANN ARBOR 2.1 WNW, 2.1 miles off. May leads at 3.85 inches of a moderate annual total, so rainfall is not the pressure. Heavy clay till beneath the city accepts very little of what falls, and deep winter frost moves the ground for months before the melt arrives to test it.

Common moisture and mold problems in Ann Arbor

  • Heavy clay till converting nearly all rainfall into surface flow within minutes
  • Long term breaks leaving rental housing unoccupied while a failure runs unnoticed
  • Deep frost moving foundations through winter before a compressed spring melt
  • A small river draining a heavily developed catchment with a sharp storm peak

Frequently asked questions

A rental sat empty over the break and something let go. What happens?

It runs until somebody arrives. A supply line that fails in an unoccupied house continues for as long as the building is empty, and in winter a frozen line is often what caused the break in the first place. Shutting the water off at the main before a long vacancy prevents most of it.

The ground moves all winter here. What does that do to a wall?

It works it slowly. Frost drives deep into clay till and stays there for months, so a foundation carries sustained lateral pressure long before any melt arrives. Cracks that get noticed in March generally opened in January under load, and the water only made them visible.

The house was split into apartments decades ago. What does that change?

The plumbing, mostly. Conversions add kitchens and baths to a system sized for one household, usually in stages and rarely to a drawing. More fixtures run through older drains, and the added work is the part nobody has a record of.
