Rated 4.9 by Lake Geneva-area neighbors
Fast to respond and easy to reach. The technicians were tidy, respectful of our home, and explained what caused the growth so it would not come back.
Professional job on the attic mold. Price was a bit higher than the first quote, but no regrets.

Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Lake Geneva, WI homes
Mold Inspection in Lake Geneva tends to start the same way mold does across Walworth County: roof and plumbing leaks in Lake Geneva homes that feed hidden mold for months before anyone notices. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Como, Springfield, Williams Bay and the rest of Lake Geneva call us.
We handle mold inspection for Lake Geneva the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Genoa City, about 15 minutes from our Genoa City base, so we can usually reach a Lake Geneva home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
