Mold Remediation

Mold doesn't just look bad — it's a serious health hazard. Exposure can cause respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and aggravate conditions like asthma. In Southern Colorado's climate, moisture from snowmelt, monsoons, and plumbing issues can create ideal conditions for mold growth — especially in crawl spaces, basements, and behind walls. Stars and Bars Restoration provides complete mold remediation services. Our IICRC AMRT (Applied Microbial Remediation Technician) certified team follows industry-standard protocols to safely contain and remove mold while addressing the underlying moisture source.

1. Inspection & Testing — We conduct a thorough visual inspection and use moisture meters to identify the extent of mold growth and its source. We can arrange third-party air quality testing for documentation. 2. Containment — We establish containment barriers using polyethylene sheeting and negative air pressure to prevent mold spores from spreading to clean areas during removal. 3. Air Filtration — HEPA air scrubbers and filtration systems capture microscopic mold spores from the air, improving indoor air quality throughout the process. 4. Mold Removal — Affected materials are carefully removed and disposed of following industry protocols. Non-porous surfaces are cleaned with professional-grade antimicrobial solutions. 5. Moisture Control — We identify and address the moisture source that caused the mold. Without fixing the water problem, mold will return. This may include drainage improvements, dehumidification, or plumbing repairs. 6. Restoration — We rebuild and restore the affected area, from replacing drywall and insulation to refinishing surfaces, returning the space to safe, livable condition.

Don't ignore these warning signs: • Visible mold growth — Any visible mold, even small patches, likely indicates a larger hidden problem. • Musty odors — A persistent earthy or musty smell, especially in basements, crawl spaces, or bathrooms. • Water stains — Discoloration on walls, ceilings, or floors indicating past or ongoing moisture problems. • Health symptoms — Unexplained respiratory issues, allergies, headaches, or eye irritation that improve when you leave the building. • Recent water damage — Any property that experienced water damage and wasn't properly dried within 48 hours is at risk for mold. • High humidity — Areas that consistently feel damp or where condensation forms on windows and pipes. If you notice any of these signs, call Stars and Bars at 719-676-2456 for a professional assessment.
