Reconstruction Service
Mold Remediation & Reconstruction
Containment, safe removal, and complete rebuild after mold growth — handled to remediation industry standards with full reconstruction in-house.
Overview
What Mold Remediation Rebuild Covers
Mold is almost always a symptom of an unresolved water issue. By the time visible growth appears, the underlying material — drywall, insulation, framing, or subfloor — usually has to come out. Spraying bleach on the surface doesn't solve it, and any contractor who tells you otherwise will be back on a callback within a year.
Proper remediation requires negative-pressure containment, HEPA filtration, removal of porous affected materials, antimicrobial treatment of structural framing, and clearance testing before the rebuild begins. Our crews are trained to IICRC S520 standards, and the rebuild that follows uses moisture-resistant materials wherever the original loss exposed a recurring risk.
Common Causes
When This Service Applies
Long-term water leaks
Slow plumbing or roof leaks that go undetected for weeks or months — the most common source of widespread mold growth.
Improperly dried losses
Water damage events where drying was incomplete or skipped, allowing growth in wall cavities and subfloors.
HVAC condensation
Leaking condensation lines, improperly sealed ducts, or oversized AC units that create persistent moisture above ceilings.
Crawlspace & basement humidity
Chronic moisture in unconditioned spaces that migrates upward, contaminating subflooring and lower walls.
Bathroom moisture
Failed grout, missing exhaust fans, or chronic shower spray that saturates substrate behind tile.
Flood events
Category 2 and 3 water losses that require contaminated material removal regardless of visible mold.
Scope of Work
What's Included in the Rebuild
- 01
Inspection & testing
Visual inspection, moisture mapping with thermal imaging, and air/surface sampling sent to an accredited lab where required.
- 02
Containment
Plastic-sheet containment with HEPA-filtered negative air machines to prevent spore migration to unaffected areas.
- 03
Material removal
Removal of affected drywall, insulation, carpet, and any porous materials — bagged and disposed of per protocol.
- 04
HEPA cleaning & antimicrobial
HEPA vacuuming of all surfaces, antimicrobial application to framing and structural elements, and post-remediation verification.
- 05
Source repair
Repair of the underlying water source — plumbing, roofing, HVAC, or grading — so the mold doesn't recur.
- 06
Rebuild with mold-resistant materials
Mold-resistant drywall (purple board), closed-cell insulation, and properly vented assemblies in moisture-prone areas.
- 07
Finish work
Drywall finish, paint, flooring, baseboards, trim, and any cabinetry replacement to fully restore the affected space.
Warning Signs
When to Call a Reconstruction Contractor
If you're seeing any of these signs, it's time for a professional inspection — most are free, and early intervention dramatically reduces total rebuild scope and cost.
- Musty, earthy odor in any room or closet
- Visible black, green, or white growth on walls or ceilings
- Recurring respiratory symptoms only when at home
- Discoloration around windows, baseboards, or HVAC vents
- Water staining anywhere paired with mustiness
- Recent water damage where drying may have been inadequate
Insurance & Coverage
How Mold Remediation Rebuild Claims Work
Mold coverage varies more than any other peril. Some carriers exclude mold entirely; others cap coverage at $5,000–$10,000; some cover full remediation when triggered by a covered water loss. We review your declarations page before scoping the project so you know exactly what's covered before work begins.

FAQ
Mold Remediation Rebuild Questions, Answered
Do I need a separate mold remediation company plus a rebuild contractor?+
No. We handle both under one project, which is faster and cleaner. Many remediators won't rebuild, and many contractors won't touch remediation — that gap is where projects stall.
Will insurance pay for mold remediation?+
It depends on your policy and what caused the mold. Mold from a covered water loss (burst pipe) is usually covered; mold from a long-term leak you didn't report often is not. We help you understand the distinction before filing.
Is mold testing necessary?+
Pre-remediation testing isn't always required if mold is visible. Post-remediation clearance testing IS recommended (and required by some carriers) to verify the work was done correctly.
Can I stay in the house during remediation?+
For small contained projects, yes. For larger remediation involving HVAC contamination or extensive containment, temporary relocation is recommended — and ALE coverage often pays for it.
How do you keep mold from coming back?+
Remediation only works if the source is fixed. We always include source repair (plumbing, roofing, ventilation) and use mold-resistant materials in the rebuild so the conditions for regrowth are eliminated.
