When mold is gone, really gone, your family can live without worry. No more musty odors that make you hold your breath walking through certain rooms. No more wondering if that cough is from something growing in your walls.
You get your space back. The air feels clean again. Your kids can play anywhere in the house without you second-guessing their safety.
This is what happens when mold removal is done right the first time. Your property returns to the healthy environment it should be, with moisture sources addressed so the problem doesn’t come back next month.
Flood Guys Restoration has been protecting Wisconsin families for decades. We’re IICRC certified and MRSC registered, which means we follow the strictest industry standards for mold remediation.
What sets us apart in Lower East Side is simple: the same certified technicians handle your entire project from start to finish. You’re not dealing with different crews every day wondering if they know what the last team did.
We understand Wisconsin’s unique climate challenges. Our damp seasons create perfect conditions for mold growth, especially in basements and older homes common throughout Lower East Side. We’ve seen it all, and we know how to fix it permanently.
First, we inspect everything. Not just the obvious spots, but behind walls, under flooring, in HVAC systems. Mold hides, and we find it all before we start.
Next comes containment. We seal off the affected area so spores don’t spread to clean parts of your home during removal. This step protects your family and your belongings.
Then we remove contaminated materials that can’t be cleaned and thoroughly clean surfaces that can be saved. We use HEPA filtration and follow IICRC S520 standards for source removal. Finally, we address the moisture source that caused the problem. Without this step, you’re just waiting for mold to return.

Your mold removal service covers the complete remediation process. We provide thorough inspection using professional-grade moisture detection equipment, proper containment with negative air pressure systems, and safe removal of all contaminated materials.
In Lower East Side, we often deal with basement mold issues common to Wisconsin’s older housing stock. Many homes have stone foundations or inadequate vapor barriers that create ongoing moisture problems. We don’t just clean the mold—we identify and help you address these underlying issues.
You also get air quality testing, surface sampling when needed, and detailed documentation for insurance claims. Our technicians explain each step and provide recommendations for preventing future problems specific to your property and Lower East Side’s climate conditions.
We provide 24/7 emergency response with an average arrival time of 90 minutes. Mold emergencies often happen after water damage, and the first 24-48 hours are critical for preventing extensive contamination.
When you call us, you’re talking to our team directly—not an answering service. We dispatch certified technicians immediately and begin containment procedures as soon as we arrive. Quick response prevents a small mold problem from becoming a whole-house contamination issue.
The same IICRC-certified technicians handle your entire project from inspection through final clearance testing. You’re not dealing with different crews who don’t know your situation.
We follow ANSI/IICRC S520 standards for professional mold remediation, which means source removal—not just spraying chemicals over the problem. Many companies take shortcuts, but we remove contaminated materials completely and address moisture sources to prevent recurrence. Our 50 years of Wisconsin experience means we understand the specific challenges homes face in our climate.
We work directly with insurance companies and help document everything needed for your claim. Most insurance policies cover mold removal when it results from a covered water damage event, like burst pipes or storm damage.
We photograph all affected areas, provide detailed moisture readings, and document our remediation process according to industry standards. Our technicians know what insurance adjusters need to see and can often help expedite your claim approval. We also provide financing options for situations not covered by insurance.
Yes, we use proper containment procedures that allow you to remain in unaffected areas of your home safely. We seal off work areas with plastic sheeting and maintain negative air pressure to prevent spores from spreading.
However, if contamination is extensive or affects your HVAC system, we might recommend temporary relocation during active remediation. We’ll discuss this during our initial inspection and help you understand all options. Your family’s safety is our priority, and we’ll be honest about what’s safest for your specific situation.
When we address the moisture source properly and follow IICRC standards for source removal, mold shouldn’t return to treated areas. If it does, we stand behind our work and will investigate the cause.
Usually, mold recurrence happens because the original moisture problem wasn’t completely resolved—like a hidden leak or ongoing humidity issue. We provide detailed recommendations for moisture control and can connect you with trusted contractors for any structural repairs needed. Prevention is always better than repeated remediation.
Most residential mold removal projects take 3-5 days, depending on the extent of contamination and drying time needed. Basement mold issues common in Lower East Side often require additional time because concrete and stone foundations hold moisture longer.
We don’t rush the process. Proper drying is essential—if materials aren’t completely dry before we close up walls or replace flooring, you’ll have problems again. We use moisture meters to verify everything meets industry standards before considering the job complete. Quality work takes the time it takes.
