In the spring of 2024, a Pittsburgh homeowner contacted us for help with her late mother’s property. The home had a long-standing history of water intrusion and visible mold growth in multiple areas, including the basement, garage, and an upstairs bedroom. She needed a local mold remediation company capable of handling demolition, cleaning, disinfection, and waterproofing — and our team was up to the task. Over 13 days, we delivered a complete solution using every major service we offer.
Demolition and Mold Removal from Finished Basement Areas
Our work began with structural teardown and debris handling:
- Full demolition of mold-contaminated materials in a finished basement room
- Dedicated 2-person mold remediation crew (expanded to 4 on two key days)
- Contents handled, moved, and cleared from affected areas for safe access
- Debris removed by our waste management partner, SWI, using a compact garbage truck
This step set the stage for thorough remediation by exposing mold-affected surfaces.
Basement Mold Remediation and Environmental Cleaning
Next, we performed mold removal and surface cleaning in multiple basement zones:
- Mold remediation in the main basement, laundry/furnace room, and paneled storage area
- HEPA vacuuming and antimicrobial treatment on all affected surfaces
- Use of professional containment techniques to isolate and control spores
- Environmental cleaning that followed IICRC mold remediation standards
These treatments eliminated the mold colonies and stopped further spread.
