We are leaders in mold remediation services in Itasca County.

Mold is often a symptom of a water leak hiding somewhere in your home or business. If you notice a strong, musty odor or have recently had a water damage issue, you may have a mold problem. Mold will continue to be a regional challenge due to our climate, and once mold spores find the perfect moist conditions, they will land and colonize quickly, sometimes becoming visible in as little as 48 to 72 hours.

Our local team in Bemidji, Grand Rapids, and Hibbing is a trusted leader in mold mitigation and removal services. Here are some tips from our website about things you can do and not do while waiting for help to arrive:

Important Facts:

• Significant mold growth can occur in 48 to 72 hours
