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.
Our crawl space mold was worse than we thought. They handled the full remediation and installed a vapor barrier too.

When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Lake Valley, Tahoe Valley, Stateline and the rest of South Lake Tahoe call us.
We handle residential mold remediation for South Lake Tahoe 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 Tahoe City, about 30 minutes from our Tahoe City base, so we can usually reach a South Lake Tahoe home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
