You walk into your home and take a deep breath without worry. No musty odors, no concerns about what’s growing behind your walls, no sleepless nights wondering if that cough is from something in your house.
That’s what proper mold removal gives you. Not just clean surfaces, but genuine peace of mind. Your children play safely, your family sleeps soundly, and you stop second-guessing every sniffle or headache.
When mold is gone—really gone—your home becomes the safe haven it should be. You’re not managing a problem anymore. You’re living your life.
We at Flood Guys Restoration have been protecting Sherman Park families from mold for years. We understand the unique challenges of this neighborhood’s beautiful older homes—those gorgeous bungalows with their original woodwork and full attics that can harbor moisture problems.
Our IICRC-certified technicians know Sherman Park’s housing stock inside and out. We’ve worked in homes built in the 1920s with Lannon stone foundations and modern renovations alike. Every job teaches us something new about keeping these homes healthy and safe.
We’re not the cheapest option, and we’re upfront about that. You’re investing in certified expertise, professional-grade equipment, and a team that won’t cut corners when your family’s health is on the line.
First, we find the moisture source. This isn’t optional—it’s the difference between temporary cleanup and permanent solution. We use professional moisture meters and thermal imaging to locate hidden water problems that feed mold growth.
Next comes containment. We seal off the work area to prevent mold spores from spreading to clean parts of your home. Our team wears full protective equipment and uses HEPA filtration systems throughout the process.
Then we remove contaminated materials safely. Sometimes that means cutting out sections of drywall or removing carpet. We don’t try to save materials that can’t be properly cleaned—your health isn’t worth the risk.
Finally, we clean and treat all surfaces with professional-grade antimicrobials. We test moisture levels to ensure everything is completely dry before we’re done. No shortcuts, no “good enough.” The job isn’t finished until your home is safe.

Your mold removal service includes everything needed to solve the problem completely. Free initial inspection to assess the scope and identify moisture sources. Professional containment to protect unaffected areas of your home. Safe removal of all contaminated materials using proper disposal methods.
In Sherman Park’s older homes, we often find mold in places other companies miss. Behind original plaster walls, in crawl spaces with stone foundations, or in attics with inadequate ventilation. Our team knows where to look and how to access these areas safely.
We also provide detailed moisture control recommendations specific to your home’s construction. Many Sherman Park houses need updated ventilation or minor repairs to prevent future problems. We’ll tell you exactly what needs attention and connect you with trusted local contractors when needed.
Every job includes post-remediation verification testing to ensure the work is complete. You get documentation for insurance purposes and peace of mind knowing the problem is solved, not just covered up.
If you can see mold growth larger than about 10 square feet, you need professional help. But size isn’t the only factor. Hidden mold behind walls, recurring growth after you’ve cleaned an area, or mold in your HVAC system all require professional equipment and expertise.
You also need professional removal if anyone in your home has respiratory issues, allergies, or a compromised immune system. DIY cleanup can actually make things worse by spreading spores throughout your house. If you’re unsure, we provide free inspections to give you an honest assessment of what you’re dealing with.
Insurance coverage depends on what caused the mold growth. If it’s from a covered event like a burst pipe or storm damage, most policies will cover remediation costs. If it’s from long-term moisture issues or maintenance problems, coverage is less likely.
We work directly with insurance companies and can help document everything properly for your claim. Our detailed reports include photos, moisture readings, and scope of work that adjusters need. We’ve helped many Sherman Park homeowners navigate this process successfully, and we’ll handle the paperwork so you don’t have to.
Most residential mold removal projects take 2-5 days, but older homes can present unique challenges that extend the timeline. Original plaster walls, stone foundations, and vintage construction materials sometimes require specialized handling.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the initial inspection. Emergency situations get priority scheduling—we can usually start containment within hours if needed. The key is doing the job right, not fast. Rushing mold removal just leads to recurring problems, which costs you more time and money in the long run.
Mold removal focuses on cleaning visible growth, while mold remediation addresses the entire problem—including the moisture source that caused it. True remediation means the mold won’t come back because we’ve eliminated the conditions that allowed it to grow.
Many companies offer “mold removal” that’s really just surface cleaning. They’ll scrub away what you can see but ignore the underlying moisture problem. Within months, you’re dealing with the same issue again. Professional remediation costs more upfront but saves money by solving the problem permanently.
All mold can cause health problems for sensitive individuals, regardless of color. The “toxic black mold” you hear about is just one type—Stachybotrys chartarum—but it’s not necessarily more dangerous than other species. Green, white, or brown mold can be just as problematic.
What matters is getting any indoor mold growth removed safely and completely. We don’t spend time identifying specific mold types because the remediation process is the same. Our focus is on eliminating all mold growth and preventing it from returning, regardless of what species you’re dealing with.
It depends on the size and location of the affected area. Small, contained projects might allow you to stay in unaffected parts of your home. Larger jobs or mold in HVAC systems usually require temporary relocation for your safety.
We use professional containment barriers and negative air pressure to prevent contamination of clean areas. If the work area can be completely isolated from living spaces, you can often remain in your home. We’ll discuss your specific situation during the inspection and help you make the best decision for your family’s safety and comfort.
