You walk into a home that smells fresh, not musty. Your family stops coughing at night. The black spots on your bathroom walls are gone—for good.
That’s what happens when mold removal is done right. We don’t just clean what you can see. We find the moisture source that’s feeding the problem, eliminate every spore we can reach, and make sure it doesn’t come back.
Your Riverwest home becomes the healthy space it should be. No more wondering if that smell means trouble. No more worrying about what’s growing behind your walls.
We’ve been serving Milwaukee families for years, and we understand something important about Riverwest: these historic homes need special care.
Built in the early 1900s, your home has character that newer construction lacks. But it also has quirks—original plaster walls, unique ventilation patterns, and materials that respond differently to moisture than modern builds.
We’ve worked in hundreds of homes just like yours. We know where mold likes to hide in these older structures, and we know how to remove it without damaging the features that make your home special.
First, we find everything. Our technicians inspect every area where moisture could be hiding—behind walls, under flooring, in crawl spaces. We use specialized equipment to detect mold you can’t see yet.
Next, we contain the work area to prevent spores from spreading to clean parts of your home. Then we remove all contaminated materials safely and treat affected surfaces with professional-grade solutions.
Most importantly, we fix the moisture problem that caused the mold in the first place. Whether it’s a hidden leak, poor ventilation, or condensation issues common in older homes, we address the root cause so the problem doesn’t return.

Your mold removal includes thorough inspection, containment, removal, cleaning, and moisture control—plus follow-up to make sure everything stays clean.
In Riverwest, we see mold issues most often in basements, bathrooms, and areas around original windows where condensation builds up. Milwaukee’s location near Lake Michigan creates humidity challenges that many restoration companies don’t fully understand.
We know this neighborhood. We know that homes built before 1940 often have unique ventilation challenges. We know that Riverwest’s dense housing can create moisture problems when neighboring properties have water issues.
That local knowledge means we catch problems other companies miss, and we solve them the right way the first time.
You need professional help if you see mold covering more than 10 square feet, smell musty odors you can’t locate, or have health symptoms that improve when you leave the house.
In historic Riverwest homes, mold often grows in hidden areas—behind original plaster walls, under old flooring, or in crawl spaces with poor ventilation. If you’ve had any water issues, even minor ones, it’s worth having a professional inspection.
DIY cleaning works for small, surface-level spots. But if mold keeps coming back, spreads quickly, or you suspect it’s growing where you can’t see it, professional remediation is the safe choice for your family’s health.
Proper mold removal actually protects your home’s historic features by addressing moisture problems before they cause serious structural damage.
We use methods specifically chosen for older construction. Instead of aggressive techniques that might damage original plaster or woodwork, we use controlled removal and specialized cleaning solutions that are effective but gentle on historic materials.
Sometimes we can save original features that other companies would remove entirely. When removal is necessary, we document everything and can often recommend craftspeople who specialize in historic restoration to help you maintain your home’s character.
Most residential mold removal projects take 2-5 days, depending on the size of the affected area and the complexity of moisture issues.
Historic homes sometimes take a bit longer because we’re working with older construction methods and materials. We might need extra time to properly address ventilation issues or moisture problems that are common in homes built before modern building codes.
We work efficiently, but we don’t rush. It’s better to spend an extra day doing the job thoroughly than to have mold return because corners were cut. You’ll be able to return to your home once air quality testing confirms the space is safe.
Moisture is always the root cause, but older homes face unique challenges that create perfect conditions for mold growth.
Original windows often develop condensation issues. Basements in homes built before modern waterproofing can have humidity problems. Old plumbing develops small leaks that go unnoticed for months. Poor ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens allows moisture to build up.
Milwaukee’s climate doesn’t help—our humidity levels and proximity to Lake Michigan create conditions where moisture problems become mold problems quickly. The key is identifying and fixing these moisture sources, not just cleaning the mold that results from them.
Mold removal typically costs between $1,500 and $4,000 for most residential projects, but the exact price depends on the size of the affected area and the complexity of the moisture problem.
Historic homes can sometimes cost more to remediate because of accessibility challenges or the need for specialized techniques to preserve original features. However, addressing mold problems early is always less expensive than waiting until the damage spreads.
We provide detailed estimates after our initial inspection, and we work with most insurance companies. Many homeowner’s policies cover mold removal when it results from a covered water damage event, so check with your insurance company before assuming you’ll pay out of pocket.
It depends on the size and location of the mold problem, but safety is always our first priority when making this decision.
For small, contained areas like a single bathroom, you can usually stay in your home while we work. We use containment barriers to prevent spores from spreading to other areas, and we schedule work to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
For larger projects or when mold affects your home’s HVAC system, temporary relocation might be necessary. We’ll discuss this during our initial assessment and help you understand exactly what to expect before any work begins.
