Which Mold Service Do You Need?
Four services, and most homes need only one or two. Start from what you're actually seeing rather than from the service names — this page maps one to the other. Which one applies often comes down to how a West Roxbury home is built and where the moisture is coming from.
Match the situation to the service
You can see mold, and you know what caused it
A past leak, a known damp corner. Skip straight to remediation & removal — lab testing won't tell you anything you don't already know.
Something smells musty but you can't find it
This is what an inspection is for: locating it and identifying the moisture feeding it, before any decision about treatment.
The smell is everywhere, not in one room
Whole-house odour that's stronger when the heating or AC runs points at the system rather than a room. See air duct & HVAC treatment.
It keeps coming back after being cleaned
Recurrence means the moisture source is still active. Moisture control addresses the cause rather than the symptom.
You need documentation, not just a fix
For an insurance claim or a property sale, sampling and written findings matter. That's the testing side of inspection & testing.
You genuinely aren't sure
Then don't guess — a free assessment exists precisely to answer this, and "nothing needs doing" is a legitimate result.
What each one covers
Mold Inspection & Testing
Moisture-meter and visual inspection to confirm whether mold is present, how far it's spread, and what's causing it.
Mold Remediation & Removal
Contained removal of affected material, HEPA vacuuming, and antimicrobial treatment.
Air Duct & HVAC Mold Treatment
Mold inside ductwork spreads spores through the whole house every time the system runs.
Moisture Control & Dehumidification
Mold comes back if the underlying moisture doesn't get fixed — we find the source and fix it.
How a job runs
Three visits for most jobs: assessment, treatment, and a clearance check to confirm it's actually done.
Inspection & Assessment
We identify every affected area and the moisture source, and give you a written scope before any work starts.
Containment & Treatment
The work area is sealed off before any material is disturbed, so spores don't spread to the rest of the house.
Clearance & Prevention
A final check confirms the area is clean, plus practical steps to keep it from coming back.
Still not sure what you need?
If it isn't obvious which of the four applies, that's normal — start with a free assessment instead of guessing. The property gets walked, you get a plain explanation of what's there, and a written scope before anything is scheduled.
Two things worth reading first: the cost guide, which explains what actually drives the price of a job, and the FAQ, which covers the questions that come up most before booking.
