Lakewood is the big suburb south of Wheat Ridge and Arvada, incorporated in 1969 from a patchwork of 1940s to 1960s subdivisions along Colfax, Alameda, and Wadsworth. Most of its houses are brick ranches and split-levels with full basements on the same clay as the rest of Jefferson County, and the city took the center of the May 8, 2017 hailstorm, which closed Colorado Mills mall for six months and drove more than 150,000 auto claims and 50,000 homeowner claims across the metro.
Lakewood basements see the same melt-season seepage as Arvada's, plus a share of older galvanized plumbing that pinholes inside the wall. The 1960s ranches near Belmar were built with evaporative coolers, and many still run one.
Homeowners in Lakewood 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 ceiling stain under a roof that took 2017 hail and dark sheathing above it is attic mold remediation. A soft baseboard in a finished basement after the March melt is mold removal. A split-level lower floor that smells on humid days is mold odor removal.
Basement rebuilds inside Lakewood go through the City of Lakewood, not Jefferson County, and the city licenses its own contractors. Belmar Park holds Heritage Lakewood, fifteen historic buildings and more than forty thousand artifacts from the farms and roadside businesses that became the city.
Call (720) 823-6943 and tell us what you see. We put you through to a local mold provider serving Lakewood.
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.
