After a slow leak was found behind our bathroom wall, I assumed we'd need new studs. They cleaned and treated the framing instead, checked the moisture level carefully, and explained why replacement wasn't necessary in our case.

Rated 4.9 by Berkley-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.
After a pipe leak we had mold in the crawl space. They sealed the area, removed the mold, and left everything spotless.

Good to know
Wood Framing Mold Removal in Berkley, MA: common questions
Do you always replace moldy wood framing?
No. Solid framing lumber with surface mold can usually be cleaned and treated rather than replaced. Replacement is reserved for wood that's actually soft, rotted, or structurally compromised.
Is the antimicrobial treatment safe for my home?
We use EPA-registered antimicrobial products applied according to label instructions, and the area is ventilated as part of the drying process before anything is closed back up.
How long before framing can be closed back up?
It depends on the wood's starting moisture level and drying conditions, often a few days. We won't approve closing a wall until framing hits a safe moisture reading.
How soon can you start wood framing mold removal in Berkley?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Berkley home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
How can you tell if wood needs replacing versus cleaning?
We check the texture and firmness with a probe alongside moisture readings. Solid, firm wood with surface staining gets cleaned and treated; soft or spongy wood signals rot and needs structural evaluation.
Can you treat framing without removing all the drywall?
If drywall has already been removed for another reason, we'll treat exposed framing while it's accessible. We generally don't remove intact drywall solely to treat framing that isn't showing signs of a problem.
Will my insurance cover wood framing mold removal in Berkley?
It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. We bill your carrier directly and document the loss so your Berkley claim moves.
Do you serve Berkley?
Yes. We cover all of Berkley, including Dighton, Assonet, Taunton, and the rest of the Berkley area. We are based in East Taunton, about 5 minutes from our East Taunton base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
