Mold Remediation in Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Fremont County
Mold in Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Fremont County usually follows a water event that was not dried fully: a basement that took on creek or storm water, a burst pipe behind a wall, or a roof leak after hail.

Call (719) 220-1040 for immediate help.
Why Mold Grows in Colorado Springs Homes
Basements after flooding
Fountain Creek and Arkansas River flooding, plus heavy storm runoff in Pueblo West and Security-Widefield, can leave a basement wet. Carpet, pad and the bottom of drywall that stay damp give mold what it needs, so wet materials come out quickly and the structure is dried with moisture readings.
Hidden leaks after freeze and thaw
A pipe that split in a cold snap and a fast warm-up can leak inside a wall for days. Pueblo Water advises insulating exposed pipes and sealing gaps in basements and crawl spaces. We find the damp area with moisture meters and thermal imaging before opening the wall.
Roof leaks after hail
Colorado ranks second in the nation for hail claims. Hail that cracks shingles or breaks skylights lets rain soak attic insulation and ceilings unseen. We check attics and the rooms below after a hail storm.
How We Handle Mold Remediation in Colorado Springs
- You call (719) 220-1040. We ask about the area, the odor, and any recent water, and we schedule an assessment.
- We inspect with moisture meters and thermal imaging to find the extent of the growth and the water source.
- We set up containment with plastic barriers and negative air pressure so spores do not spread to clean areas.
- We remove affected porous materials, HEPA vacuum and clean surfaces, and apply antimicrobial treatment.
- We dry the area to verified targets and confirm the moisture source is corrected before rebuilding.

Signs You Need Mold Remediation, and What To Do First
- A musty or earthy odor in a basement, closet, or crawl space
- Dark spots or fuzzy growth on drywall, wood, or ceiling tiles
- Peeling paint or bubbling wallpaper on exterior or basement walls
- Condensation on windows, pipes, or foundation walls
- Stored boxes or furniture in the basement that feel damp
- Allergy-like symptoms that improve when you leave the house
Do not scrub, spray, or disturb visible mold, because that releases spores into the air. Keep the door to the area closed, run a dehumidifier if you have one, and stop any active leak. Then call (719) 220-1040 for an assessment.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope depends on how large the affected area is, which materials are involved, and whether the moisture source is still active. Mold on a hard surface can often be cleaned, while mold in drywall, insulation, and carpet pad usually means removal. We map the affected area and write a scope that lists every material we will clean or remove.
A small, contained area can take one to two days. A finished basement or a large area behind walls takes longer because of containment, removal, drying, and rebuilding. We do not close walls until the moisture readings confirm the area is dry.

- Finished basements
