Edgewater is a city of less than a square mile on the west shore of Sloan's Lake, between Wheat Ridge and Denver, with 1920s to 1950s bungalows and brick ranches on narrow lots and a 25th Avenue main street that has filled with restaurants in the last decade. The lots are small and the houses are close, so a downspout from one roof often lands next to the neighbor's foundation.
The basements are old: block or poured walls, low ceilings, floor drains instead of sumps, and a high water table this close to the lake. Many have been finished as rentals or accessory units since 2015, which puts drywall and carpet over walls that were never meant to be covered. A tenant downstairs is often the first to notice the smell, and a landlord across town is often the last to hear about it, so the growth has months to spread before anyone calls.
Homeowners in Edgewater 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.
A finished basement rental with growth behind the new drywall is mold removal. A dark patch spreading on a basement bathroom ceiling is black mold removal. The new drywall and trim afterward are mold damage repair.
The City of Edgewater issues its own building permits and licenses contractors for work inside the city, so a rebuild here does not go through Jefferson County or Wheat Ridge.
Call (720) 823-6943 and tell us what you see. We put you through to a local mold provider serving Edgewater.
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.
