When you discover mold in your Westown home, you’re not just dealing with an eyesore. You’re facing potential health risks for your family and serious damage to your property. Not only is the mold inside damaging your property, but it is also affecting the health of any occupants. Mold can be hazardous to all people, but especially to infants, seniors and anyone with asthma or other respiratory conditions.
After professional mold removal, you’ll breathe easier knowing your family is protected from respiratory issues and allergic reactions. Your home’s air quality improves dramatically, eliminating that persistent musty smell that cleaning products can’t touch. Bleach may conceal the smell for a little while, but the mold is not gone.
Most importantly, proper remediation stops mold from returning. We don’t just clean what you can see—we address the moisture source and hidden growth that keeps the problem coming back.
We are a local, family-owned, and operated Water Restoration company that services a 35 mile radius of the Milwaukee WI Metro Area. We understand Wisconsin’s unique climate challenges that make mold growth a serious concern for homeowners.
The summer is characterized by frequent warm air masses, either hot and dry continental air masses from the arid west and southwest or warm and moist air from the south. Wisconsin is known for its varied climate, with icy winters and hot, humid summers. But it’s the summer humidity that poses the most significant challenge for HVAC systems. This humidity creates perfect conditions for mold growth in basements, bathrooms, and anywhere moisture accumulates.
Our certified technicians have helped countless Westown families reclaim their homes from mold contamination. We know which areas are most vulnerable in Wisconsin homes and how to prevent future growth.
Our process begins with a comprehensive assessment of the damage. Our trained technicians evaluate the extent of the issue, identifying affected areas and potential hazards. This thorough inspection allows us to develop a tailored restoration plan that addresses your specific needs.
Next, we establish containment barriers to prevent mold spores from spreading to unaffected areas of your home. We contain the affected area to prevent spore spread, remove contaminated materials, clean and disinfect surfaces, and dry the space using professional-grade equipment. This critical step protects your family and prevents cross-contamination.
Our certified technicians then remove all contaminated materials safely, using specialized equipment to capture even microscopic spores. We don’t stop at surface cleaning—we address the root moisture problem that allowed mold to grow in the first place. We also address the underlying moisture issue to help prevent recurrence. Our remediation process includes identifying and addressing the root cause—whether it’s a leak, high humidity, or poor drainage.
Finally, we restore affected areas to their original condition and conduct thorough testing to ensure the remediation was successful.

Your mold removal service includes comprehensive inspection using moisture meters and air quality testing to identify the full scope of contamination. Our licensed mold professionals perform a thorough visual inspection, use moisture meters, and may take air or surface samples for lab analysis. We identify the source, type, and extent of the mold problem to recommend the right remediation plan.
In Wisconsin’s climate, we pay special attention to common problem areas. Mold is often found in damp basements, attics with roof problems, crawlspaces and bathrooms. Bathroom mold often grows on the ceiling and around the window sills but can also grow in the caulking around the bathtub and toilet if water spilled out and sat for too long. Mold is often found in air ducts of Wisconsin homes and businesses. The changing weather of drastic seasons means your HVAC system is likely producing moisture you can’t see, cultivating the perfect environment for fungus growth.
We handle everything from small bathroom mold issues to extensive contamination throughout your home. In areas less than 10 sq. ft., we clear the area of debris, HEPA vacuum the area, then wipe with a damp cloth changing cleaning towels often to avoid re-contamination and let the area dry. In areas larger than 10 sq. ft. we recommend having a mold remediation specialist complete the removal. Larger areas need specialized containment with HEPA filtration devices and additional equipment that our trained technicians work with every day.
Mold can grow in as little as 24 hours given the right type of environment. The longer mold is ignored, the more destruction it will cause. In Wisconsin’s humid summers, conditions are often perfect for rapid mold growth, especially in basements, bathrooms, and areas with poor ventilation.
The key is acting fast when you first notice signs like musty odors, visible growth, or water damage. If you are seeing mold on the surface, there is more than likely a much larger problem underneath the surface. Mold can damage drywall, wood and insulation inside your walls. Mold can literally break apart the infrastructure of your building. That’s why we offer 24/7 emergency response—because waiting until Monday morning could mean the difference between a small remediation job and extensive property damage.
Mold can cause serious health problems, but it depends on the individual. Mold produces allergens, which can cause serious allergic reactions for sensitive individuals. It can also induce asthma attacks. Symptoms of mold include allergic reactions (sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes) and asthma or respiratory issues. Depending on the level of sensitivity, some may even experience a rash or hives.
Children, elderly family members, and anyone with existing respiratory conditions are particularly vulnerable. Exposure to mold spores may lead to persistent respiratory issues, aggravated asthma symptoms, and heightened allergic reactions. Individuals with compromised immune systems face even greater risks, as mold can contribute to severe infections. Long-term exposure is particularly harmful, often worsening pre-existing conditions. If family members are experiencing unexplained respiratory symptoms, headaches, or allergic reactions, mold contamination could be the culprit.
In the age of DIY, home and business owners often believe they can do enough by watching tutorials about mold removal or purchasing and using “mold paint” or other “mold removing” products. This is far from the truth. Small areas under 10 square feet might be manageable for homeowners, but anything larger requires professional equipment and expertise.
If you discover mold in your home – do not disturb it. This will help prevent mold spores from launching into the air and posing potential health risks to you and your family. Call us today to have our mold remediation technicians safely clean the area and remove the mold. Professional remediation ensures proper containment, complete removal, and addresses the underlying moisture problem that caused the mold growth in the first place.
Not if the moisture source is properly fixed. Our remediation process includes identifying and addressing the root cause—whether it’s a leak, high humidity, or poor drainage. Preventive steps and proper maintenance are key to long-term success. Simply removing visible mold isn’t enough—we have to eliminate what’s feeding it.
To eliminate the risk of mold growth inside your household you should fix leaks in your house, reduce humidity to 30-60%, clean and dry damp items, prevent condensation with insulation, clean mold off hard surfaces with water and detergent then dry completely, and replace any absorbent materials that are moldy. Preventing moisture from building up is the most important step to take when preventing mold growth inside. Using dehumidifiers, air conditioning, exhaust fans when cooking, and other ventilation systems is the best possible way to prevent moisture from causing mold growth inside a building. We’ll provide specific recommendations based on your home’s unique conditions and Wisconsin’s climate challenges.
Insurance coverage for mold removal depends on the cause of the moisture problem and your specific policy terms. Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover mold damage if it results from a “covered peril” like a burst pipe or storm damage, but they typically exclude mold caused by long-term neglect or maintenance issues.
We work directly with insurance companies and can help document the damage properly for your claim. Our detailed assessment reports and photos provide the evidence insurers need to process claims efficiently. We recommend contacting your insurance agent as soon as you discover mold, and we’re happy to communicate directly with your adjuster to ensure you receive the coverage you’re entitled to under your policy.
The timeline depends on the extent of contamination and the size of the affected area. Small, contained areas might be remediated in 1-2 days, while extensive contamination throughout multiple rooms can take a week or more. In areas less than 10 sq. ft., we clear the area of debris, HEPA vacuum the area, then wipe with a damp cloth changing cleaning towels often to avoid re-contamination and let the area dry. Larger areas need specialized containment with HEPA filtration devices and additional equipment that our trained technicians work with every day.
The drying process is often the longest phase—we need to ensure all moisture is eliminated before reconstruction begins. Wisconsin’s humidity can extend drying times, especially in basements and crawl spaces. We use industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to speed the process safely. Throughout the project, we’ll keep you informed of our progress and provide realistic timelines based on your specific situation. Our goal is thorough remediation, not just fast completion.
