We noticed spotting on the drywall in a corner of our living room and figured it was just surface dirt. It had already gotten into the wall cavity. They mapped out exactly how far it went before cutting anything, which I appreciated.

Rated 4.9 by Genoa City-area neighbors
Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
They removed mold from our HVAC system and ducts. Breathing at home feels easier now.

Good to know
Wall & Drywall Mold Removal in Genoa City, WI: common questions
Can I paint over mold on drywall?
No. Painting over mold traps it and doesn't address the growth inside the drywall paper. It will usually resurface, sometimes worse, and can spread further inside the wall in the meantime.
Is exterior wall mold different from interior wall mold?
The removal process is similar, but exterior wall mold is more often caused by condensation from a temperature difference, while interior wall mold usually points to a plumbing leak or moisture intrusion from an adjacent space.
What if the mold has reached the wall studs?
Lightly affected framing can often be cleaned and treated in place. If it's gone deeper, we'll walk you through what's needed before closing the wall back up.
Do I need to leave my Genoa City home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Genoa City home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
How much drywall will you remove?
We use moisture readings to define the affected boundary and cut along stud lines, so the removal matches the actual problem rather than an oversized guess.
Will you replace the drywall too?
We handle removal, drying, and can coordinate the drywall rebuild and texture matching as part of the project.
Will my insurance cover wall & drywall mold removal in Genoa City?
It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. We bill your carrier directly and document the loss so your Genoa City claim moves.
Do you serve Genoa City?
Yes. We cover all of Genoa City, including Pell Lake, Powers Lake, Twin Lakes, and the rest of the Genoa City area. We are based in Williams Bay, about 20 minutes from our Williams Bay base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
