Fast to respond and easy to reach. The technicians were tidy, respectful of our home, and explained what caused the growth so it would not come back.
After a pipe leak we had mold in the crawl space. They sealed the area, removed the mold, and left everything spotless.

Local knowledge
Residential Mold Remediation for Dorchester, MA homes
Residential Mold Remediation in Dorchester tends to start the same way mold does across Suffolk County: humid seasons that keep indoor moisture high for weeks at a time. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Ashmont, Grove Hall, Savin Hill and the rest of Dorchester call us.
We handle residential mold remediation for Dorchester 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 Dorchester home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
