MoldGone is a full service mold inspection, air quality testing, remediation, and reconstruction company with over a decade of experience. Our inspectors and technicians carry the highest and most recognized certifications in the industry. Whether your are a residential or commercial customer seeking mold testing or remediation services you can be assured that the project will be professionally managed and properly certified. There are many companies that offer mold remediation - make sure that the company you choose has an industry recognized mold remediation or inspection certification such as the American Council of Accredited Certification (ACAC) or equivalent. MoldGone is unsurpassed in its commitment to customer service excellence, provision of only the highest caliber service, and providing unsurpassed value in every project or inspection delivered. MoldGone's customers have ranged from the residential homeowner to private schools and churches. In fact, when the Sisters at a private Catholic girls school in the Washington, D.C. area needed a company to treat mold in the Sister's private archive room, complete with 100 year-old manuscripts, they entrusted MoldGone, LLC to do the project. On another project that involved removing mold from a 30 foot ceiling above a filled indoor pool, when the scaffolding company wanted several thousand dollars to build the necessary scaffold to reach the treatment area MoldGone built its own providing the customer significant savings. At MoldGone, LLC. we constantly strive to find the most cost effective way to fully address each and every mold condition. MoldGone technicians are trained specifically for mold treatment and remediation. They are also required to have construction experience since many of our projects involve demolition and reconstruction. Technicians are held to the utmost highest levels of quality with each project receiving a thorough walkthrough by management before it is deemed complete.

"MoldGone was somewhat hard to deal with but ultimately agreed to work on this until the air was normal and they had good reviews so I hired them. They did the first treatment and I had an air test done. It showed there was still high mold levels. I immediately asked them to return to fix it--as we had agreed. Jay argued and argued but eventually agreed to. On the day agreed, they claim they came but could not work since no one answered the door. We had already agreed I would not be there--and that both doors would be open so they could begin. Jay forgot to tell the workers AND he failed to call/e-mail me while they were there to ask me. So I am out ANOTHER $300 for the hotel and still no mold remediation. I again sent e-mails asking when they would come back. Jay admitted the communication failure was his fault but still said he would not reschedule the job. This time Jay refused to do the job--instead offering to just do "cold fogging" Next, Mike Mulieri(VP of the company) entered the picture. He assured me he would resolve the problem. Instead he made it worse. He dragged it out, argued back and forth with Angi and still refused to refund money or do a re-treatment of my place. I view MoldGone as slick, dishonest folks who try to talk their way out of any problem- but not actually remedy their mistakes. Now I'm on my way to the courthouse."

Capitol Mold takes the high pressure sales tactics used by large remediation companies, and replaces it with honest interactions. We complete honest and in depth analysis of each job and walk you through every step, with evidence. Available from start to finish, from Assessment to Remediation, we make all of it happen seamlessly. Our services includes Remediation and Assessments (Assessments are not completed for AIQ Test Requests, only for potential remediation) (IAQ Testing is better suited for professionals who only perform testing) Testing Minimums included 2 Air-O-Cell Tests ($440 Minimum not including the Control Test) We do work with insurance companies using XACTIMATE. Our Company is fully licensed and insured for Mold Remediation and Assessments. All standards are followed under NORMI Protocol.

"When a leak was fixed that has caused to water to seep through my floorboards, I learned that I likely had mold in the crawlspace area underneath the flooring. I opened this job on Saturday afternoon fully expecting that the necessary mold remediation would be expensive. Murray at CapitolMold responded right away and came the next day on Sunday morning. Murray assessed the situation and explained my options. To my relief, his assessment was that the mold damage was relatively minor. He quoted me for the work and also explained that because the damage was relatively minor, I could do the remediation myself. Murray took the time to explain in detail how to do the work and recommended the necessary materials. I was very impressed with his honesty and willingness to impart his expertise. I highly recommend CapitolMold. I will not hesitate to call them again in the future."

FAQs for water removal recovery service projects in Washington DC, DC

It typically takes around five days for a fully flooded basement to dry out completely, but you’ll want to try to dry it out as fast as possible to minimize the overall damage and potential for mold growth. It also depends on the extent of the flooding. A fully flooded basement will take longer to dry than a partially flooded basement.

To clean up a flooded basement, first have your basement professionally inspected to determine the extent of the damage and stability of the structure. Following the inspection, contact your insurance company. After that, pay for the cost to remove standing water from the basement as soon as possible, which can cost around $1,300 to $5,500. Once the water is removed, you can begin cleaning, drying, and sanitizing.

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), most flood insurance policies cover cleanup expenses, including pumping out water, labor, mold treatment, cleaning solutions, and more. Many policies also include building coverage, which covers damages for items connected to a power source or installed in their functioning location. This includes furnaces, water heaters, central ACs, sump pumps, and electrical outlets. It’s essential to check your insurance policy to see what’s covered by your plan.

To prevent basement flooding in heavy rain, you can take precautions using various methods to waterproof your basement. Waterproofing your basement costs around $4,800, but avoiding a flood can save you money and hassle. Whether you need a crack repaired, a sealant applied to your foundation, or pipes and gutters repaired, it’s best to seek a professional basement waterproofing company near you to do the work safely and correctly.
