Rated 5 by Saluda-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.
We panicked when we saw mold in the nursery. They prioritized our job and made the room safe again quickly.

Local knowledge
Mold Clearance Testing for Saluda, NC homes
Mold Clearance Testing in Saluda tends to start the same way mold does across Polk County: humid seasons that keep indoor moisture high for weeks at a time. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from East Flat Rock, Dana, Barker Heights and the rest of Saluda call us.
We handle mold clearance testing for Saluda 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 Flat Rock, about 10 minutes from our Flat Rock base, so we can usually reach a Saluda home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
