Local knowledge
Residential Mold Remediation for Somerville, MA homes
Residential Mold Remediation in Somerville tends to start the same way mold does across Middlesex County: air conditioning condensation that feeds mold growth 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 pick up the phone.
Residential mold remediation for Somerville is handled the right way. The technicians find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then the area is contained and the mold is removed safely.
Somerville is about 18 miles from Maynard, so a crew can usually be there the same day you call. The methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
