We had a musty smell in the basement for months before we finally called. The crew found a cracked spot in the foundation wall we never would have noticed and walked us through everything before starting. No pressure, just a clear plan.

Rated 4.9 by Somerville-area neighbors
We had mold after a slow leak under the sink. They inspected it, explained the plan, and left the space dry and clean.
Clear pricing, no surprises. The mold remediation took exactly as long as they said it would.
Our process
Our mold remediation process in Somerville, MA
Inspect
We check every affected room, take moisture readings, and trace the mold back to its source before writing a scope of work.
Contain
Plastic sheeting and negative air pressure keep spores out of the clean parts of your home while we work.
Remove
Contaminated drywall, insulation, and other porous materials are removed and bagged; hard surfaces are HEPA-vacuumed and treated.
Dry
Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers bring the space back to a safe moisture level so mold loses its foothold for good.
Verify
A final walkthrough and moisture check confirm the area is dry and ready for repairs before we call the job done.

Local knowledge
Mold Remediation for Somerville, MA homes
Mold Remediation in Somerville tends to start the same way mold does across Middlesex County: bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms in Somerville where everyday humidity has nowhere to go. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Winter Hill, East Somerville, Cambridge and the rest of Somerville call us.
We handle mold remediation for Somerville 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 Boxford, about 35 minutes from our Boxford base, so we can usually reach a Somerville home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
Somerville specifics
Mold Remediation in Somerville: what actually causes it
For a home in this area, mold remediation starts with finding the moisture, because the water is what feeds the mold. By the time a family calls us for Mold Remediation, they have usually already seen a musty smell or a spreading stain. Older and newer homes alike need Mold Remediation, from the newer builds near Boston to the oldest ones in town. A Somerville home that needs Mold Remediation almost always has a moisture story behind it, and it usually starts with humid seasons.
If you have noticed a musty smell or a spreading stain in your home, mold remediation is worth a call before the damp reaches the framing. Our crew has done Mold Remediation across Middlesex County enough to know how air conditioning condensation feeding mold on cool basement and closet walls moves through these homes. The reason Mold Remediation comes up so often here is simple: bathrooms, working on local homes month after month. Most Mold Remediation jobs in the area trace back to humid seasons, a pattern we see week after week.
A Mold Remediation visit tends to run like this:
- Dry the structure with commercial equipment until readings normalize
- Inspect the affected area and find the moisture feeding the mold
- Remove moldy material to the IICRC S520 standard
- Contain the space under negative air with HEPA filtration
- Stop the water source so the problem does not come back
Because our crew works about 35 minutes from our Boxford base, you usually get a same-day look for mold remediation.
Good to know
Mold Remediation in Somerville, MA: common questions
How long does mold remediation take?
Most residential jobs run a few days to about a week, depending on how much material needs removal and how long the space takes to dry. We give you a specific timeline after the inspection.
Does insurance cover mold remediation?
Coverage depends on the cause. Mold from a sudden pipe burst is often covered, while long-term humidity issues sometimes aren't. We bill your insurance directly on approved claims and can help you read your policy's language.
Do you test for mold before starting?
We inspect visually and check moisture levels on every job. If you want lab confirmation of species or air quality, we can coordinate third-party testing before or after the work.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after mold remediation?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Somerville home.
Will I need to leave my house during remediation?
It depends on the size and location of the affected area. We contain the work zone with plastic barriers and negative air pressure, so many homeowners stay in the unaffected parts of the house.
Can I just clean the mold myself?
Small surface mold on a non-porous surface like tile can often be handled with basic cleaning. Once mold has spread into drywall, insulation, or framing, or covers more than a few square feet, professional removal is the safer route.
Is the mold remediation you do in Somerville to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Middlesex County.
Do you serve Somerville?
Yes. We cover all of Somerville, including Winter Hill, East Somerville, Cambridge, and the rest of the Somerville area. We are based in Boxford, about 35 minutes from our Boxford base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
