Cleaner rooms, drier structures, and fewer surprises behind the walls
Many people who call us have already tried to handle a leak on their own. They mopped the floor, ran a fan for a few days, and everything looked fine until a musty smell appeared or a stain crept up the baseboard. That pattern is common, and it is the reason our company, operating in Chisholm, MN since 2009, puts so much weight on what happens inside wall cavities, under flooring and above ceilings.
Mold needs three things to grow: moisture, a food source and time. Building materials like paper-faced drywall, wood framing and carpet backing are excellent food sources, so the only variables left to control are moisture and time. Our job is to remove the moisture quickly, and when growth has already started, to take it out without spreading spores through the house.
For contaminated work we build containment from plastic sheeting and zipper doors, then run negative air machines that exhaust filtered air so the work area draws air in rather than pushing it out. HEPA air scrubbers capture fine particles, and technicians wear protective equipment suited to the conditions. Removed materials are bagged inside containment before they leave the room.
Sewage and flood water call for an even more careful approach. Under the IICRC S500 water classification, these are Category 3 losses, which means porous materials they touched are generally removed rather than dried. Hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, and the area is dried before any rebuilding begins.
Throughout the job we explain what we are doing and why. You will know which rooms are closed off, how long equipment will run, and what the next step is. When the work is done, we walk through the space with you and review the moisture readings that show the structure is dry.

Services that keep water, mold and contamination out of your living space
These are the restoration services our Chisholm, MN crews perform most often. Select any service to read how we approach that type of damage, what the process looks like, and how long it typically takes.
Black Mold Removal
Dark mold growth on wet drywall or wood is removed inside sealed containment with HEPA air filtration running throughout.
Mold Testing and Inspection
Inspections that look for hidden moisture and growth, with laboratory sampling offered when it will answer a specific question.
Sewage Cleanup
Sewage exposure is a health issue first. Crews isolate the area, remove contaminated materials and disinfect before anything is rebuilt.
Water Damage Restoration
When water has soaked into floors or walls, we remove what cannot be saved, dry what can, and rebuild with materials suited to the space.
Emergency Water Removal
Fast removal of pooled water from carpeted rooms, hard floors and wall cavities, which shortens the window in which mold can take hold.
Water Mitigation
Early drying work that keeps a small leak from turning into a mold problem, with equipment sized to the room and adjusted daily.
Flood Cleanup
Flood water often carries soil and bacteria. We remove it, clean affected surfaces with suitable agents, and dry the structure fully.
Flooded Basement
Below-grade spaces tend to trap humidity. We extract water, remove damp finishes and bring the room back to normal moisture levels.
Storm Damage Restoration
Storm leaks can wet insulation and ceiling cavities out of sight. We find that moisture and dry it before growth appears.
Fire Damage Restoration
After a fire, residue and leftover water both affect indoor air. We clean, dry and repair the structure in a planned sequence.
Smoke Damage Restoration
Smoke residue settles on nearly every surface. We match the cleaning method to the residue type and treat lingering odor.
Drywall Repair
Replacement of drywall that stayed wet too long, finished to match, so the repaired room is clean and dry behind the surface.
Why moisture control comes before mold removal
Removing visible mold without fixing the moisture that caused it only resets the clock. The CDC and EPA both emphasize that moisture control is the key to preventing mold from returning, which is why our remediation plans always start with finding the water source.
That might mean a plumber repairing a supply line, a roofer sealing flashing, or a change in how a bathroom is ventilated. We identify the cause, recommend the right trade if the fix falls outside our work, and confirm the area is dry before rebuilding.
Only when moisture readings are stable do we close walls and install new finishes. That sequence is what gives remediation lasting results.

How a contamination-aware restoration project unfolds
These eight stages describe a typical job involving water with mold or sewage risk. Simple clean water losses may skip some steps.
- 1
Call and triage
The dispatcher asks about the water source, how long it has been present, any visible growth or odor, and whether anyone in the home has health concerns.
- 2
Site assessment
A technician inspects the affected area, maps moisture with meters and thermal imaging, and notes where contamination may be present.
- 3
Source correction
The cause of the water is stopped or scheduled for repair, since remediation cannot hold if moisture keeps returning.
- 4
Containment setup
Plastic barriers, zipper doors and negative air machines isolate the work area from the rest of the building.
- 5
Removal of affected materials
Porous materials that are contaminated or mold-damaged are cut out, bagged inside containment and removed.
- 6
Cleaning and treatment
Framing and hard surfaces are HEPA vacuumed, cleaned and treated, and remaining moisture is addressed with drying equipment.
- 7
Verification
Moisture readings and a visual inspection confirm the area is clean and dry. Independent clearance testing can be arranged on request.
- 8
Rebuild and close out
New drywall, insulation and finishes are installed, and we review the final documentation with you.

They were upfront about the assessment fee on the phone, and the technician explained everything he found before recommending any work.Carla D.Townhouse owner
After the storm, water came through the ceiling. They dried the attic insulation area, checked for growth, and replaced only what needed replacing.Brian H.Homeowner, roof leak
The containment was neat and the rest of the house stayed clean. At the end they walked me through the moisture readings room by room.Sofia G.Homeowner, basement mold
Mold and contamination questions, answered plainly
What Chisholm, MN homeowners ask us before approving remediation or sewage cleanup.
Is all black mold toxic?
Color does not tell you which species is present or how risky it is. The CDC advises that all mold growth indoors should be removed regardless of type, and that identifying the species is usually not necessary to decide on cleanup.
Can I clean small mold spots myself?
The EPA suggests homeowners can often handle areas smaller than about ten square feet on hard surfaces if they fix the moisture source and use suitable protection. Larger areas, growth inside walls, or growth tied to sewage are better handled by professionals.
Do I need mold testing before remediation?
Not always. When growth is visible and the moisture source is known, testing may not change the plan. Sampling is most useful when you smell mold but cannot see it, need documentation, or want post-remediation verification.
What makes sewage cleanup different?
Sewage is classified as Category 3 water and may contain bacteria and viruses. Porous materials it touched are generally removed, hard surfaces are disinfected, and workers wear protective gear throughout.
Will remediation make my home smell like chemicals?
We use cleaning and antimicrobial products suited to the job and ventilate the work area. Any residual odor from treatment usually fades quickly once the area is opened up.
How long does mold remediation take?
Small contained projects may take one to three days. Larger jobs involving several rooms, drying time and rebuild can take longer. You will receive a timeline after the assessment.
What does the assessment cost?
An assessment and dispatch fee applies to every visit. The dispatcher states the amount before scheduling so you can decide how to proceed.
Can mold come back after remediation?
It can if moisture returns. That is why we find and correct the water source first and recommend steps such as ventilation improvements where they apply.
