Mold Removal & Remediation in Eagan, MN
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
The kettle has no stream leaving it. Is that why the walkout stays wet?
Yes. A kettle is a closed bowl. June rain has nowhere to go but the water table in that bowl, and a walkout poured on the lake margin is a hole in that table. Outlet-less is the whole hydrology, not a missing ditch someone forgot to dig.
The house is on the bluff, not the bottoms. Why would the river still matter?
The bluff sheds to the river, so every lot is a step on that staircase. A cut basement takes what the hillside above it passes down, and June is when that volume arrives. Being above the floodplain answers the overbank question and leaves the seepage question open.
A 1988 basement should have drain tile. Why is it still a June problem?
The tile is only as good as where it dumps. Many of these plats outlet into a swale or a neighbor's yard that later construction filled. Tile that once had a fall now sits in a bowl, and June rain then recirculates at the footing instead of leaving.
