Common Question in Middletown

Do I need mold cleanup after water damage

If water sat in your Middletown building for more than 48 hours, mold has likely started growing behind walls and under flooring. Buildings with asbestos materials that got soaked need hazmat professionals, not just regular cleanup crews. Get a professional assessment within 72 hours to determine if you need standard mold remediation or specialized hazmat services.

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★
THEY DID A GOOD JOB AND I THOUGHT THE PRICE WAS REASONABLE.
Norman D.· Angi
★★★★★
I worked with Kevin Con, their field specialist. Kevin talked to me over the phone for quite awhile to make sure that I had a good estimate and knowledge of the procedure. The team came out early and they were efficient in the processes. I would highly recommend them especially because they worked so closely with our roofing team to get the job done in one day.
Raymond F.· Angi
★★★★★
I am just so happy. They came out on a Tuesday (the owner Steve and his son) and took a look and had a crew of 2 out for me the next day! They got there at 8:30 am and all was completed by 2:00. The follow up was excellent. I could just go on and on. I am very impressed and want to insulate everything NOW because they were so excellent!

Trusted by Government Agencies, Universities & Major Corporations

Most homes in Middletown were built in the 1940s through 1970s, when asbestos was standard in everything from floor tiles to boiler insulation. If you live anywhere near the South Main Street Historic District or off Oxford State Road, your house probably has it somewhere. The bigger problem shows up when you're renovating that kitchen or replacing the old furnace. You can't just rip out those 9x9 tiles or pull that pipe wrap without proper abatement. Butler County requires licensed removal, and your contractor won't touch the job until it's done right.

We've been running asbestos crews through Middletown since the 1990s. Most of our work comes through Turner Construction and Messer when they're doing the bigger projects around town. Our trucks are out at Cincinnati Public Schools jobs and over at the University of Cincinnati campus most weeks. If you're dealing with asbestos in your home, you need a crew that knows the regulations and won't cut corners on containment.
