We had mold after a slow leak under the sink. They inspected it, explained the plan, and left the space dry and clean.
Great communication from start to finish. The mold report helped a lot with our insurance claim.

Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Bemis, MA homes
Mold Inspection in Bemis tends to start the same way mold does across Middlesex County: crawl spaces and sump pumps around Bemis that struggle to keep up during wet spells. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Nonantum, Newton Corner, Watertown Square and the rest of Bemis call us.
We handle mold inspection for Bemis the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Auburndale, about 5 minutes from our Auburndale base, so we can usually reach a Bemis home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
