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 Fairhaven-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.
Our home inspection flagged mold. These folks remediated it and gave us the clearance letter we needed to close.

Good to know
Wall & Drywall Mold Removal in Fairhaven, MA: 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.
Is the wall & drywall mold removal you do in Fairhaven to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Bristol County.
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.
Do I need to leave my Fairhaven home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Fairhaven home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Fairhaven?
Yes. We cover all of Fairhaven, including New Bedford, Bliss Corner, Acushnet, and the rest of the Fairhaven area. We are based in Buzzards Bay, about 30 minutes from our Buzzards Bay base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
