We had black mold behind a shower wall in one of our rental units. They contained the bathroom, removed the affected drywall and framing surface, fixed the leak and rebuilt the wall. The tenant was able to stay in the rest of the unit.Robert H.
Some damage announces itself, like a tree limb through the roof or smoke pouring from a kitchen. Other damage builds slowly: mildew along a bathroom ceiling, a smell that never quite leaves a basement, black mold behind a vanity that nobody noticed for a year. Mold PE Services handles both kinds in Aitkin, MN, and has done so since 2011.
For storm and wind events, our first priority is protecting what is left. We tarp roofs, board openings, and remove water before it soaks deeper into the structure. Then we assess the building room by room and put together a written scope that separates emergency work from repairs. For mold and mildew, we begin with the moisture source, because removing growth without fixing the cause only schedules the next outbreak. Containment, HEPA filtration and careful removal of affected materials follow.
Smoke and odor jobs need patience. Residue settles on every surface, travels through ductwork and embeds in soft materials. We clean from the top of each room down, treat odor at its source and use sealing products only where cleaning alone cannot finish the job. Drywall repair ties it all together, and our finish work is done by crews who care whether you can spot the patch. Commercial clients use the same process with scheduling built around their hours, so a mold job in an office or storefront does not have to shut the business for longer than necessary.

What property owners said after we finished their restoration projects.
A storm dropped a large branch through our back porch roof. They had a tarp on it that evening and dried out the ceiling below over the following days. The repairs were finished cleanly and they dealt directly with our adjuster.Carla N.Storm and roof damage, Aitkin, MN

Our office had a musty smell for months. They found a slow roof leak feeding mold above the drop ceiling and scheduled the work over two weekends so we never closed.Janelle P.Commercial office mold, Aitkin, MN
After a small electrical fire, the smell was in everything. They cleaned the walls and ducts and treated the soft furnishings. A month later there is no trace of it.Oscar F.Smoke and odor, Aitkin, MN
Straight answers about timing, insurance, safety and what to expect.
Any mold growing indoors should be removed and its moisture source corrected. Color alone does not identify a species or its risk. Large or hidden growth, and growth in homes with people who have respiratory conditions, should be handled with professional containment.
By fixing the moisture that allowed it to grow. We identify leaks, condensation or humidity problems as part of the job and recommend or perform the repairs needed to keep materials dry.
Stay away from downed lines and damaged structures, photograph the damage if it is safe, and call for emergency protection such as tarping or board-up. Early protection limits water intrusion and helps your insurance claim.
Odor can be removed when the residue causing it is cleaned from surfaces, ducts and fabrics. In some cases, porous materials are sealed after cleaning. Fragrance products alone only cover the smell temporarily.
Mildew is a term usually used for surface growth that stays on top of materials, often in bathrooms or on window sills. It is generally easier to clean than mold that has grown into porous materials, but it signals excess humidity that should be addressed.
In many cases, yes. We use containment to isolate work areas and can schedule work after hours or on weekends. The plan depends on the size of the affected area and how the space is used.
Yes. We repair drywall damaged by impact, fire, removed fixtures and other causes, not just water. Finish work is textured and painted to blend with the surrounding wall.
We document every job with photos, readings and itemized scopes, and we communicate with adjusters as needed. Coverage decisions are always made by your insurer.
