We had mold after a slow leak under the sink. They inspected it, explained the plan, and left the space dry and clean.
Good mold removal work overall. Scheduling took a few days longer than expected but the result was worth it.

Good to know
HVAC & Air Duct Mold Remediation in High Ridge, MO: common questions
How do I know if my ductwork has mold?
A musty smell that gets stronger when the HVAC system runs, or visible growth around vent covers, are the most common signs.
Will you fix the moisture causing the mold?
We identify the moisture source, whether it's condensation, a crawl space leak, or humidity issues, and either address it directly or coordinate with an HVAC technician.
Do I need to replace ductwork with mold in it?
It depends on the material and extent of growth. Metal ductwork can often be cleaned, while some flexible or fiberglass-lined duct may need replacement.
Is the hvac & air duct mold remediation you do in High Ridge to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Jefferson County.
Can I clean duct mold myself?
Ductwork is hard to access safely and cleaning it without proper containment can push spores through the whole house, so it's best left to a professional crew.
Does a humidifier make duct mold more likely?
It can, since evaporative coolers add significant humidity to the air moving through the ductwork, especially if the system isn't well maintained.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after hvac & air duct mold remediation?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a High Ridge home.
Do you serve High Ridge?
Yes. We cover all of High Ridge, including Parkdale, Byrnes Mill, Murphy, and the rest of the High Ridge area. We are based in Glencoe, about 15 minutes from our Glencoe base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
