Mold Remediation Grand Rapids MI | Basement & Attic Mold

Mold in West Michigan homes starts with water

Grand Rapids has cold, snowy winters, wet springs and humid summers, and nearly every house has a basement. Put those together and you get the most common mold call here: a musty basement, spots along the bottom of the drywall, and boxes that smell when you open them. Attics are second, usually from warm house air condensing on cold roof boards in winter.

Water from outside matters too. In April 2013 the Grand River rose to a record crest and flooded buildings near the river (2013 Grand Rapids flood). Even a smaller storm can overwhelm a sump pump. Mold can start growing on wet drywall and carpet within a day or two.

Common questions

Do I really need a professional?

For a small patch on a hard surface, often not. The EPA says areas under about 10 square feet can usually be cleaned by the homeowner once the moisture is fixed. For anything larger, mold inside walls, or mold after flood or sewage water, call a pro.

How fast can someone come out?

It depends on the day and the contractor's schedule. Tell us if water is still coming in, and we'll treat it as urgent.

Which areas do you cover?

Grand Rapids and the towns around it, including Wyoming, Kentwood, Grandville, Walker, East Grand Rapids, Rockford, Ada, Cascade and Jenison. See service areas.

Can I get a price on the phone?

You can get a sense of what's involved. A firm price comes after the contractor has looked at the mold and the moisture, and always before work starts.
