Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have mold in my home?

Common signs of mold include a musty odor, visible growth on walls or ceilings, and worsening allergy-like symptoms. A professional inspection is the best way to confirm.

What areas do you serve?

We serve residential and commercial properties throughout Maine, including Portland, Augusta, Bangor, and surrounding areas.

Is mold removal covered by insurance?

It depends on the cause and your insurance policy. We can help you document the issue and work with your provider where applicable.

How long does mold remediation take?

Most jobs take 1–3 days depending on the extent of the mold and affected areas. We aim to complete work quickly without compromising quality.

Do you offer waterproofing services?

Yes — we provide basement and crawlspace waterproofing to prevent future mold issues and protect your home from moisture intrusion.

What health risks are associated with mold exposure?

Mold exposure can lead to respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and other health problems—especially for individuals with asthma, compromised immune systems, or mold sensitivities. Prompt removal is essential to minimize risk.

Can I remove mold myself?

While small patches of mold can sometimes be cleaned with household products, professional remediation is strongly recommended for larger or recurring infestations to ensure complete and safe removal.

How do you prevent mold from returning?

Effective mold remediation includes not just removal, but addressing the source of moisture. We offer moisture control solutions, waterproofing, and ventilation improvements to help prevent future growth.

Is mold testing necessary before remediation?

In many cases, visible mold is enough to warrant remediation without testing. However, we may recommend testing for hidden mold or to assess air quality when the presence of mold is unclear.

How much does professional mold remediation cost?

Costs vary based on the size and severity of the mold problem. We provide transparent, competitive estimates after a thorough assessment of the affected areas.

Do you offer emergency mold remediation services?

Yes — we provide emergency response for severe or time-sensitive mold problems. Contact us anytime for urgent assistance and we’ll prioritize your situation.
