Wheat Ridge sits between Arvada and Lakewood along Clear Creek, a farm and greenhouse town that incorporated in 1969 and still shows it: deep lots, 1940s and 1950s brick bungalows and ranches along 38th and 44th avenues, and a carnation-growing past that gave the city its August festival. The May 8, 2017 hailstorm crossed Wheat Ridge on its way east with stones up to baseball size, and many roofs here were replaced that year and the next.
The basements are older than Arvada's on average, often block walls with a single window well and a floor drain instead of a sump. Clear Creek's floodplain runs along the city's southern edge, and the ground near it stays wet into June.
Homeowners in Wheat Ridge 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 damp block wall behind 1970s paneling is mold removal. A bathroom with a window and no fan that spots every winter is bathroom mold removal. A furnace humidifier pad that has been green since the last owner is HVAC mold cleaning.
The City of Wheat Ridge handles its own building permits, separate from Arvada's desk, and a basement rebuild here goes through its Community Development department. The biggest change in town in a generation came on August 3, 2024, when Intermountain Health Lutheran Hospital moved patients from the old Lutheran Medical Center campus on 38th Avenue, a site that began as a tuberculosis sanitarium in 1905, to a new hospital at West 40th Avenue near I-70.
Call (720) 823-6943 and tell us what you see. We put you through to a local mold provider serving Wheat Ridge.
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.
