Dark mold growth where the ceiling meets a wall column in a basement playroom in Westport, CTMold Remediation

Mold in a Basement Playroom Ceiling in Westport

A Westport, CT family found a dark patch where the ceiling meets a wall column in their basement playroom. Readings in that corner came back high, and the unfinished side of the basement showed water on the slab and mold at the base of a wall. Green Restoration built 120 square feet of containment with a decon chamber, removed 150 linear feet of affected drywall and 150 square feet of insulation, HEPA vacuumed and treated the exposed framing, and cleaned 300 square feet of surfaces under negative air.

Mold at the Base of Finished Basement Walls in Weston

Mold was growing along the bottom of the finished walls in the lower level of a Weston, CT home: inside a closet, along the main room walls and in a corner where the drywall meets the block foundation. Green Restoration sealed the work area in poly containment with a protected corridor to the exterior door, ran a HEPA air scrubber vented outside, opened the lower walls down to the furring and the block, and HEPA vacuumed the exposed surfaces.

Rodent Odor Removal in a New Canaan Basement Laundry Room

The job came in as an odor in the lower level of a New Canaan, CT home. The exposed ceiling over the basement laundry room showed why: fiberglass batts in the joist bays stained where mice had been active, with staining on the joists. Green Restoration isolated the room behind poly on the walls, removed and bagged 260 square feet of insulation, HEPA vacuumed and bio cleaned the joists and the concrete floor, and ran a HEPA negative air scrubber with a carbon filter added for odor.

A Stamford, CT homeowner found mice droppings in the crawl space. The activity turned out to reach across the full 2,400 square foot footprint: droppings and dead mice on the floor, chewed and soiled batt insulation, and damaged duct wrap. Green Restoration built a sealed containment with an airlock and decon chamber, tore out 1,800 square feet of contaminated insulation, cleaned and HEPA vacuumed the entire joist system, and treated the space with a plant-based antimicrobial under five days of negative air.

Basement Cleaned in Place in Ridgefield, 2,100 Square Feet and Nothing Torn Out

Not every mold job needs demolition. In this Ridgefield basement nothing was torn out at all. The same 2,100 square feet of structure was HEPA vacuumed in detail, cleaned as stud wall, and cleaned again as joist system, across four negative air periods, with the contents moved and handled rather than discarded.

A Three by Three Foot Attic Mold Area in Ridgefield, Caught Before It Spread

The affected area in this Ridgefield attic measured about three feet by three feet, above a closet and near a bathroom ceiling. The containment built around it covered 310 square feet and the antimicrobial treatment covered 832. That ratio is not overkill, it is how a small area stays a small area.

Water Through a Kitchen Floor Into an East Lyme Basement, Dried Over Three Days

Water that starts in a kitchen does not stay in the kitchen. This East Lyme job ran two separate containments, one upstairs and one in the basement below it, with a dehumidifier in each and moisture mapped across three days. Ten square feet of floor came out. Everything else was dried in place.

Four Area Mold Remediation in Easton, Priced Room by Room

This Easton project was quoted the way it was worked, one area at a time: the garage, the attic, the closets and a bedroom, each with its own containment, cleaning and UV light treatment. The garage carried 480 square feet of heavy cleaning and the bedroom 450, while the attic needed only sixteen. Pricing by area is what stops a small room subsidising a large one.

Soda Blasting 450 Square Feet of Timber in a Weston Great Room

Soda blasting strips a surface without sanding it, which is why it is used on old structural timber. In this Weston great room 450 square feet of timber was blasted, and the numbers that surround it are the real story: 1,500 square feet of the room covered in plastic, 500 square feet of floor protected, four negative air periods, and 1,500 square feet HEPA vacuumed afterwards.

In this Manchester home 60 square feet of wood floor and 60 square feet of subfloor were taken out, the joists below were cleaned heavy and sealed, and six negative air periods ran while it happened.

An Exploratory Wall Opening in Shelton That Found Nothing

Sometimes the honest outcome of an investigation is that there is nothing there. A wall behind a Shelton bathroom was opened under containment to check for growth, and the crew found none. The opening was HEPA vacuumed, treated and closed out at $926.01, and no remediation was sold because none was needed.

Eleven Hundred Square Feet of Crawl Space Floor Cleaned in Larchmont

This Larchmont job was one thing done properly rather than several things done partly: 1,100 square feet of crawl space concrete floor HEPA vacuumed and cleared of debris, under negative air, with the debris hauled off the property. No insulation work, no barrier, no treatment. The instruction was four words and the invoice matches it.

Wet Insulation Out of a Ridgefield Basement, 480 Square Feet

Utility Room, Closet and Garage in Kent, Nine Negative Air Periods for Forty Four Square Feet

Forty four square feet of drywall came out of this Kent home across three areas, and nine separate negative air periods ran while it happened. That ratio is the whole lesson: air control on a mold job is priced against how long the house stays open, not against how much material leaves it.

Six hundred square feet of attic surface had visible growth on it and not one square foot of material was removed. It was cleaned, vacuumed and then treated across a wider 1,000 square feet, which is what an attic needs when the sheathing is sound and the problem is on the surface of it.

A slow leak under a kitchen sink does its damage twice: once in the cabinet base where nobody looks, and again on whatever is directly below it. This Simsbury job took out the lower cabinetry and 40 square feet of drywall upstairs, then cleaned the basement wall panels underneath as its own line.
