Local knowledge
Residential Mold Remediation for Cambridge, MA homes
Residential Mold Remediation in Cambridge tends to start the same way mold does across Middlesex County: crawl spaces and sump pumps around Cambridge 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 West Cambridge/Harvard Square, Somerville, Kendall Square and the rest of Cambridge call us.
We handle residential mold remediation for Cambridge 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 15 minutes from our Auburndale base, so we can usually reach a Cambridge home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
