After a slow leak was found behind our bathroom wall, I assumed we'd need new studs. They cleaned and treated the framing instead, checked the moisture level carefully, and explained why replacement wasn't necessary in our case.

We had mold after a slow leak under the sink. They inspected it, explained the plan, and left the space dry and clean.
The team contained the work area with plastic sheeting and air scrubbers. Our kids stayed safe the whole time.

Good to know
Wood Framing Mold Removal in Delavan, WI: common questions
Do you always replace moldy wood framing?
No. Solid framing lumber with surface mold can usually be cleaned and treated rather than replaced. Replacement is reserved for wood that's actually soft, rotted, or structurally compromised.
Is the antimicrobial treatment safe for my home?
We use EPA-registered antimicrobial products applied according to label instructions, and the area is ventilated as part of the drying process before anything is closed back up.
How long before framing can be closed back up?
It depends on the wood's starting moisture level and drying conditions, often a few days. We won't approve closing a wall until framing hits a safe moisture reading.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after wood framing mold removal?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Delavan home.
How can you tell if wood needs replacing versus cleaning?
We check the texture and firmness with a probe alongside moisture readings. Solid, firm wood with surface staining gets cleaned and treated; soft or spongy wood signals rot and needs structural evaluation.
Can you treat framing without removing all the drywall?
If drywall has already been removed for another reason, we'll treat exposed framing while it's accessible. We generally don't remove intact drywall solely to treat framing that isn't showing signs of a problem.
How soon can you start wood framing mold removal in Delavan?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Delavan home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Do you serve Delavan?
Yes. We cover all of Delavan, including Delavan Lake, Darien, Elkhorn, and the rest of the Delavan area. We are based in Williams Bay, about 10 minutes from our Williams Bay base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
