We had mold after a slow leak under the sink. They inspected it, explained the plan, and left the space dry and clean.
Professional containment, HEPA vacuuming, the whole process was textbook. Worth hiring certified pros.

Local knowledge
Rental Property Mold Remediation for Somerville, MA homes
Rental Property Mold Remediation in Somerville tends to start the same way mold does across Middlesex County: air conditioning condensation feeding mold on cool basement and closet walls. 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 rental property 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.

Good to know
Rental Property Mold Remediation in Somerville, MA: common questions
Are landlords responsible for mold in a rental unit?
Massachusetts law generally expects rental housing to be kept habitable, and significant mold tied to a moisture problem can be part of that. We aren't attorneys, so for specific legal questions we'd recommend consulting one.
Do you provide documentation for landlord-tenant disputes?
Yes, we document our findings and the work performed, and we offer optional lab testing for more objective documentation if needed.
Do you handle multi-unit rental properties?
Yes, we work with landlords and property managers on both single rental homes and multi-unit buildings around the Boxford area.
Do I need to leave my Somerville home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Somerville home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Can tenants request a mold inspection?
Tenants can raise a concern with their landlord or property manager, who can then schedule an inspection or remediation with our team.
Can you work in an occupied unit?
Yes, we contain the work area carefully to limit disruption when tenants remain in the unit during remediation.
Will my insurance cover rental property mold remediation in Somerville?
It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. We bill your carrier directly and document the loss so your Somerville claim moves.
