Mold Follows Water
The dry Colorado air does not stop mold indoors. A slow leak behind a dishwasher, a damp basement corner or a wall that was never dried after a pipe burst gives it all the moisture it needs.
The EPA's guidance is simple: fix the moisture problem first, or the mold comes back. Cleaning without fixing the source is wasted money.
What Remediation Looks Like
- Find and stop the moisture source - Set up containment so spores do not spread through the house - Remove moldy porous materials like drywall and insulation - Clean and treat framing and hard surfaces - Dry the area and confirm it stays dry
For areas larger than about 10 square feet, the EPA points to its guidance for larger jobs, which usually means a professional.

Call (719) 621-9712Testing and Inspection
If you can see mold, you usually do not need a lab test to know you have a problem. Testing helps when you smell it but cannot find it, or to check results after cleanup. Ask the company what they recommend and why.

FAQ
Mold Remediation FAQs
How fast does mold grow after water damage?
The EPA says drying wet materials within 24 to 48 hours helps prevent mold growth. After that the risk climbs quickly.
Can I bleach mold away?
Bleach on porous materials like drywall often misses what is inside, and the area stays damp. Fixing the moisture and removing damaged material works better.
Does insurance cover mold?
Often only when it comes from a covered water event, and many policies cap it. Check your policy.
