Mold Remediation Reno exists because mold in Washoe County has a shape of its own. Seven inches of rain a year means the weather is almost never the cause; the water is inside the house. When you call, we put you through to one independent local provider who works this county every week and knows to look under the house before opening the wall. That provider evaluates the property, writes the scope, and does the work. Whatever you agree to on price, scope, or warranty, you agree to with that provider directly, not with this site.
Older Reno sits on crawl spaces. The bungalows in the Old Southwest and Midtown and the 1970s ranch homes across Northwest Reno and Sparks have dirt and framing under the floor, and a galvanized line leaking down there can run for a season before anyone smells it. The 2000s slab homes in Somersett, Damonte Ranch, and Spanish Springs leak from an upstairs tub into a downstairs ceiling, or from a bathroom fan that vents into the attic. Winter adds frozen pipes, ice dams, and swamp coolers left wet at shutdown. The Truckee has also flooded downtown Reno and the Sparks industrial district in 1997, 2005, and 2017; for river, creek, or playa-lake water, the Truckee River Flood Management Authority publishes the flood maps for the Truckee Meadows.
The first visit starts with a moisture meter, not a sprayer. The crew reads the walls, ceiling, and floor, often with a thermal camera, and checks the crawl space or attic before deciding how big the job is. Nobody can price a mold job from a phone description. You get photos, readings, and an itemized plan before any drywall comes out.
We serve Reno, Sparks, Sun Valley, Spanish Springs, Verdi, Cold Springs, Lemmon Valley, Stead, Golden Valley, Washoe Valley, and Incline Village, plus the Reno neighborhoods from Midtown out to Somersett, Caughlin Ranch, and Damonte Ranch. For a rental where the landlord is not addressing the problem, Northern Nevada Public Health is the public health agency for Reno, Sparks, and the county.
There is no mold-specific license in Nevada. The contractors who remove wet material and rebuild the wall are licensed through the Nevada State Contractors Board, where you can look up a license and its classification in about a minute. Providers represent their own licensing; ask for a certificate of insurance and a written scope before work starts. If you want the air or a surface sampled, you arrange that separately with a testing company of your choosing.
Call (775) 459-9573 any hour. Have the property address, a callback number, and a plain description of where the mold is and what got wet, even if the leak was fixed last winter.
