Services
Mold Remediation
Our mold remediation service addresses extensive mold infestations using EPA-approved chemicals and HEPA vacuuming. We isolate contaminated areas, remove affected materials, and apply mold encapsulation to prevent regrowth. The process includes correcting underlying ventilation issues to ensure long-term solutions. Ideal for attics, basements, and commercial spaces, our team follows IICRC S-520 standards for safe, effective remediation.
Mold Testing
We offer comprehensive mold testing using air sampling, tape lifts, and swab tests to identify mold types and concentrations. Our certified inspectors analyze indoor air quality compared to outdoor baselines, providing detailed reports to determine health risks. Testing helps guide remediation plans and verify post-treatment effectiveness, ensuring a healthy environment for homes and businesses.
Attic Mold Removal
Specialized attic mold removal targets winter-related moisture issues caused by poor ventilation. Our team corrects humidity imbalances, removes mold from roof decking, and installs proper venting systems. We use non-toxic treatments and encapsulation to prevent recurrence, ensuring structural integrity and improved air quality in Northern Ohio homes.
Basement Waterproofing
Interior basement waterproofing services prevent water intrusion through foundation cracks. We install drainage systems, sump pumps, and moisture barriers to protect against mold growth and structural damage. Our solutions address condensation issues in summer months, ensuring dry, habitable basement spaces for residential and commercial properties.
Duct Cleaning
Professional duct cleaning removes mold spores, dust, and allergens from HVAC systems. We use industrial-grade equipment to clean supply runs, return ducts, and registers, improving airflow efficiency and indoor air quality. The process includes antimicrobial fogging to eliminate contaminants, reducing allergy risks and preventing mold spread.

Questions
What causes attic mold in Northern Ohio homes?
Attic mold typically results from poor ventilation and humidity imbalances. Warm, moist air rises and condenses on cold attic surfaces, creating ideal conditions for mold growth, especially during winter months.
How does mold testing work?
We use air sampling, tape lifts, and swab tests to identify mold types and concentrations. This helps determine health risks and guides remediation plans, ensuring effective treatment tailored to your specific situation.
Can I handle mold removal myself?
Small mold patches (under 100 sq ft) may be manageable DIY projects. However, professional remediation is recommended for larger infestations to ensure proper containment, removal, and prevention of regrowth.

We provide mold remediation and related services throughout Northern Ohio, including Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga, Portage, Summit, and Medina counties.
Do you offer emergency services?
Yes, we're available 24/7 for urgent mold issues and water damage situations. Our team responds promptly to minimize damage and prevent mold growth.
What warranties do you provide?
We offer a 10-year warranty on select remediation services, ensuring long-term protection against mold recurrence when underlying issues are properly addressed.
