After a slow leak was found behind our bathroom wall, I assumed we'd need new studs. They cleaned and treated the framing instead, checked the moisture level carefully, and explained why replacement wasn't necessary in our case.

Good to know
Wood Framing Mold Removal in Town and Country, MO: common questions
Do you always replace moldy wood framing?
No. Solid framing lumber with surface mold can usually be cleaned and treated rather than replaced. Replacement is reserved for wood that's actually soft, rotted, or structurally compromised.
Is the antimicrobial treatment safe for my home?
We use EPA-registered antimicrobial products applied according to label instructions, and the area is ventilated as part of the drying process before anything is closed back up.
How long before framing can be closed back up?
It depends on the wood's starting moisture level and drying conditions, often a few days. We won't approve closing a wall until framing hits a safe moisture reading.
How soon can you start wood framing mold removal in Town and Country?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Town and Country home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
How can you tell if wood needs replacing versus cleaning?
We check the texture and firmness with a probe alongside moisture readings. Solid, firm wood with surface staining gets cleaned and treated; soft or spongy wood signals rot and needs structural evaluation.
Can you treat framing without removing all the drywall?
If drywall has already been removed for another reason, we'll treat exposed framing while it's accessible. We generally don't remove intact drywall solely to treat framing that isn't showing signs of a problem.
Is the wood framing mold removal you do in Town and Country to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Saint Louis County.
Do you serve Town and Country?
Yes. We cover all of Town and Country, including Crystal Lake Park, Des Peres, Westwood, and the rest of the Town and Country area. We are based in Glencoe, about 15 minutes from our Glencoe base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
