If you also have an active leak or standing water, we treat that as an emergency and dispatch within an hour, 24/7. Call 316-272-6849 and we will give you a real arrival window, not a vague promise." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do I need a mold inspection before remediation?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "If you can already see and smell the mold, an inspection is mostly about scoping the work and finding hidden moisture. For larger or insurance-driven jobs, we often recommend professional mold testing by an independent industrial hygienist so the pre and post numbers come from a third party. For small visible patches, our free on site evaluation is usually enough to start." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Will my homeowner's insurance cover mold remediation?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Insurance usually covers mold when it grew from a sudden, covered water loss, like a burst pipe or appliance failure. It usually does not cover mold from long-term humidity, slow leaks, flooding, or maintenance neglect. We document everything for the adjuster and have handled hundreds of claims with every major Kansas insurer. Call us before you call the adjuster." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How do I know the mold is actually gone after you're done?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "On smaller residential jobs, we do a visual and moisture verification before closing the containment. On larger or HVAC involved jobs, we recommend post remediation verification (PRV) air sampling by an independent industrial hygienist. That clearance report protects you if you sell the home later and confirms the air quality is back in normal range." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Is black mold more dangerous than other types?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "The honest answer: any mold growing indoors should be removed, and color alone does not tell you toxicity. Stachybotrys, the species people call 'black mold,' can produce mycotoxins, but plenty of harmless molds also look black. We treat every job with the same containment and PPE protocols, so you do not need a lab result to start protecting your family." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can I stay in my home during mold remediation?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "For small, contained jobs in one room, most homeowners stay in the house with no issue. For larger projects, HVAC contamination, or if anyone in the home has asthma, allergies, or is immunocompromised, we recommend staying elsewhere during active removal.

[](/) 2. Mold Remediation # Mold Remediation in Wichita: Get It Out, Keep It Out Spotted mold or smell that musty basement funk? We're a Wichita based, IICRC certified crew pulling mold out of Sedgwick County homes since 2003. Done right the first time, or it comes back worse. [Call Now for Same-Day Help: 316-272-6849](tel:+13162726849)[Request Evaluation](#contact) IICRC Certified Mold Remediation Licensed General Contractor (GC #11467) Local Family Owned, Not a Franchise 400+ Five Star Google Reviews ## Our Mold Remediation Process 1. 1 On site visual assessment (same or next day in most cases). We check behind drywall, under flooring, and in HVAC if needed. For larger or insurance-driven jobs, we may recommend [professional mold testing](/mold-testing) by an independent industrial hygienist. 2. 2 Containment. Poly sheeting, negative air, HEPA filtration. Spores stay in the work area instead of riding the HVAC into your kids' bedrooms. 3. 3 Removal. We cut out and dispose of contaminated materials. Bleach on the surface is not remediation. If your situation started with a leak, we also handle the [water damage that caused the mold](/water-extraction) so you fix the cause, not just the symptom. 4. 4 Antimicrobial treatment on the remaining structure to knock down any residual spores and slow regrowth while the area dries. 5. 5 Clearance verification. We retest the air or recommend an independent industrial hygienist for larger jobs. You get a real answer about whether the home is safe again, not just our word for it. ## What Drives the Cost of Remediation Every job is different, so we don't quote without seeing it. The main cost drivers are: square footage of visible and hidden growth, what materials are contaminated (drywall vs. subfloor vs. framing), whether HVAC is involved, and whether containment needs to be built to protect the rest of the home. Small bathroom jobs are different animals from whole-basement or HVAC-contamination jobs. For a real number, call us for an on-site visual assessment, we'll walk you through scope and pricing before any work starts. Insurance typically covers remediation from a covered water loss. It typically does not cover mold from long-term humidity or neglect.
