Lake Arbor is the mid-1970s neighborhood in north Arvada between Wadsworth and Sheridan around 80th to 88th avenues, with split-levels and ranches, arched entries and rounded porches, and streets that loop around Lake Arbor and the public golf course. Homeowners associations keep up the common grounds, and most lower levels were drywalled rather than paneled.
A split-level puts a half-buried lower floor against clay that stays wet into June, and the lake and its ponds sit at the low point the whole neighborhood drains toward. The 1970s houses also arrived with window-mounted swamp coolers and the first generation of furnace humidifiers, and many still run both. The humidifier sits on the plenum in a lower-level utility room, so a green pad and a damp wall are often one job.
Homeowners in Lake Arbor 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 lower-level family room wall wet behind the drywall after the melt is mold removal. A musty lower floor with nothing showing is mold odor removal. A furnace and humidifier that smell on the first cold morning are HVAC mold cleaning.
Lake Arbor Golf Club on Wadsworth is run by the City of Arvada's parks and golf department, and its ponds and creeks are the same water that sits under the neighborhood's lower levels every spring.
Call (720) 823-6943 and tell us what you see. We put you through to a local mold provider serving Lake Arbor.
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.
