We are leaders in mold remediation services in Itasca County.

For many years, Grand Rapids residents and businesses have relied on our local Bemidji, Grand Rapids, and Hibbing teams to provide mold removal services. Mold outbreaks are a common challenge in Itasca County, but one way to discourage mold growth is to use mold-resistant building materials.

Mold-resistant insulation materials are designed to resist moisture and inhibit the growth of mold and mildew. Here are some examples:

Closed-Cell Spray Foam Insulation: Closed-cell spray foam insulation is an excellent choice for moisture-prone areas because it creates an effective moisture barrier. It provides an airtight seal and has a high R-value.

Mineral Wool (Rock Wool) Insulation: Mineral wool is naturally resistant to moisture and does not support the growth of mold or mildew. It can be used in various applications, including basements and attics.

Closed-Cell XPS (Extruded Polystyrene) Foam Board: XPS foam board insulation is resistant to moisture and can be used in applications like basement walls and crawlspaces. It has a high R-value and provides an effective thermal barrier.

Polyisocyanurate (Polyiso) Foam Board: Polyiso foam board insulation has good moisture resistance and a high R-value. It can be used in various building envelope applications, including roofs and walls.

Cementitious Foam Board Insulation: This type of insulation is made from cement and foam. It is moisture-resistant and can be used in areas where water exposure is a concern, such as basements and foundations.
