Alta Vista was laid out in 1954 by the Hoskinson Brothers just west of Olde Town, between Ralston Road and 58th Avenue, and it is Arvada's mid-century modern neighborhood: low flat and shallow-pitched roofs, long brick walls, clerestory windows, and open plans, most built between 1954 and 1970. Ralston Central Park and the Ralston Creek Trail run along its south edge, and Arvada's city hall sits at the corner.
Flat and low-slope roofs hold hail and snow, and the long brick walls hide the fact that behind them is a full basement on clay. Mid-century houses often have the furnace and water heater in a small basement room with a drain and no sump, and the original window wells are shallow steel half-rounds that have rusted through.
Homeowners in Alta Vista reach an independent local mold provider through this site's phone line. The provider reads the walls with a meter and tells you what the house needs; our part is the phone call.
Sheathing under a low-slope roof that held March snow is attic mold remediation. A rusted window well that let the melt into a finished basement is mold removal. A mid-century bath with a window and no fan is bathroom mold removal.
The City of Arvada runs its government from 8101 Ralston Road at the neighborhood's edge, which puts the permit counter for any basement rebuild in Alta Vista within a short walk of most of its houses.
Call (720) 823-6943 and tell us what you see. We put you through to a local mold provider serving Alta Vista.
Growth on a finished basement wall, behind a laundry room, or under a window well leak: room sealed, wet board cut to the meter line, framing HEPA-cleaned and dried.
A dark patch on basement drywall or a bathroom ceiling handled by how far the water traveled, not its color: containment, porous material out, source fixed first.
A sump pump that quit during the melt or a supply line that ran for weeks, mapped floor by floor and cleared in zones as one project.
Furnace cabinet, coil, humidifier pad, and return ducts cleaned when a basement air handler or a swamp cooler has been pushing damp air through the house.
Growth behind a vanity, under a shower pan, or on a ceiling with no fan, removed once the drain, supply line, or venting problem is fixed.
Dark streaks on roof sheathing after hail, an ice dam, or a bath fan venting into the attic, cleaned and treated once the roof and the venting are corrected.
A musty basement in a house that looks fine, traced to wet carpet pad, a damp wall cavity, or a crawl space, then removed and treated at the source.
Drywall, insulation, baseboard, and carpet pad put back after removal, once the wall reads dry and the crack or leak that started it is repaired.
