Tahoe Mold & Water Services

Emergency Response

At Tahoe Mold & Water we offer 24 hour emergency response. There is no need to call a plumber; we are a one stop shop. It is very important to stop water damage as soon as possible before damage spreads and leads to mold. An emergency service charge applies to all response calls needing emergency assistance or that are outside of normal operating hours (Monday – Saturday 7 a.m. – 7 p.m.). Call 1-888-583-MOLD.

Insurance Negotiations

In most instances, water damage and mold damage is covered by your homeowner’s insurance. So it very important to work with a contractor that is familiar with insurance company negotiations. Not all insurance companies are the same, and some will underestimate your damage to save themselves money. This can result in inferior repairs or even out of pocket expenses. We will work directly with your insurance company to make sure your home is repaired the way it should be and allow you to focus on other things than constantly dealing with insurance adjusters and inspectors. This service is included in our estimate and in some cases we will pay your insurance deductible. Ask to see if you qualify

Mold Inspections

Mold may begin growing indoors when mold spores land on surfaces that are wet. Typically mold is visible and gives off a “musty” odor. In some cases, you may have hidden mold that is not visible to inspection of exposed surfaces. Mold may be hidden in places such as the back side of dry wall, wallpaper, or paneling, the top side of ceiling tiles, the underside of carpet or pads, inside ductwork, etc. Is sampling for mold needed? In most cases, if visible mold growth is present, sampling is unnecessary. Since no EPA or other federal limits have been set for mold or mold spores, sampling cannot be used to check a building’s compliance with federal mold standards. Surface sampling may be useful to determine if an area has been adequately cleaned or remediate. We provide visual inspections and remediation estimates free of cost. Sampling and testing can also be provided for an additional fee. Learn more: EPA Mold Guide (PDF).

Water Damage

When water leaks or spills occur indoors-ACT QUICKLY. If wet or damp materials or areas are dried 24–48 hours after a leak or spill happens, in most cases mold will not grow. The most important part is to repair what had caused the water damage in the first place. As a General contractor, Tahoe Mold and Water can do any plumbing or roofing repairs necessary to prevent something like this from happening again. We provide Water Extraction Services and work with professionals who can repair your water soaked rugs and furniture. In cases where water penetrates between walls causing framing to get wet, Structural Dehumidification may be necessary to prevent hidden mold from growing inside your walls.

Structural Cleaning and Decontamination

Since mold has adverse health effects, it is very important to remediate the problem properly. Mold can hide between walls, in your heating system, and still may be present after all visible indications and smells are gone. Also if you do not take care of the moisture condition that breeds the mold, it will return again. Without proper containment during remediation, mold spores can contaminate other areas that were not previously contaminated. The general rule is if the contaminated area is larger than 10 sq ft, then you should seek the assistance of a professional like Tahoe Mold and Water.
