That nasty black stain creeping up your basement walls can do more damage than you think. Black mold at certain levels can cause a variety of health problems from simple allergic reactions to serious long term illness. You cannot remove the mold without removing the source. Mold needs moisture to live–which means you have a water problem. Once we isolate the location of the leak and fix the problem, you can begin mold remediation, which can range from simple cleaning with bleach to removing the wall and treating the two-by-fours with a chemical spray. It’s critical to follow the approved method of treating mold set by the Minnesota Department of Health.
This winter nearly every house on your block has an ice dam. While every ice dam will not cause interior leaks, many do– and they can cause significant damage. Home owners insurance will not cover the removal of the ice dam, but WILL cover any damages caused by leaks. If you find bubbling paint, softened walls, or water stains on your ceilings, your insurance company will cover the cost of repairs. Before you call your agent, call us. We are experienced with working with claims adjusters to help you restore your home.
