Local knowledge
Residential Mold Remediation for Cambridge, MA homes
Residential Mold Remediation in Cambridge tends to start the same way mold does across Middlesex County: air conditioning condensation feeding mold on cool basement and closet walls. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from West Cambridge/Harvard Square, Somerville, Kendall Square and the rest of Cambridge call us.
We handle residential mold remediation for Cambridge the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in South Hamilton, about 35 minutes from our South Hamilton base, so we can usually reach a Cambridge home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
