Leyden Rock sits at the base of the foothills in west Arvada off Highway 93 near Coal Creek Canyon Road, a planned community with a median build year around 2016 and craftsman-style two-stories in stucco and stone that run from townhouses to houses over a million dollars. The site was a landfill before it was a neighborhood, and it went through years of remediation before the first foundation was poured. The name comes from the old Leyden coal mining town nearby.
The ground here is engineered fill over the usual Front Range claystone, and the lots climb, so water from an uphill neighbor's yard reaches the downhill house's foundation. Basements are deep and finished, and the wind off the foothills drives rain and hail sideways into window wells.
Homeowners in Leyden Rock 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 downhill foundation wall wet after the melt behind a finished basement is mold removal. A basement bath with a leaking shower pan in a seven-year-old house is bathroom mold removal. The new drywall and trim afterward are mold damage repair.
Leyden Rock is inside Arvada, but much of the open space around it, from Pattridge to the trails up toward the hogback, belongs to Jefferson County, and a house on the unincorporated fringe west of the neighborhood pulls its rebuild permit from the county in Golden rather than the city.
Call (720) 823-6943 and tell us what you see. We put you through to a local mold provider serving Leyden Rock.
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.
