Mold removal in Orem starts with a question most people skip: where is the water coming from? Utah County air is dry for most of the year. Indoor humidity often sits in the 20s and 30s in winter. So when mold shows up on a wall or under a sink here, it almost always means a hidden leak, a slow drip or a wet basement that never dried out. Scrub the spot and ignore the source and it grows back.

Our crew finds the moisture with meters and a thermal camera before anything gets cut. Then we set up containment: 6-mil plastic sheeting, a zipper door and a HEPA air scrubber running negative pressure so spores stay inside the work area and out of your furnace return. Moldy drywall and insulation come out and get bagged inside the containment. Framing and subfloor get HEPA vacuumed, then sanded or wire brushed where needed and treated. We dry everything to normal readings before a single sheet of new drywall goes up.

Mold removal jobs in Orem usually trace back to a few spots. The wall behind a washing machine. The basement bedroom next to a window well. The cabinet under a kitchen sink, and the bathroom with a weak exhaust fan. If the growth is dark and slimy, see our page on black mold removal. If you only smell it and cannot see it, mold testing and inspection is the better first call. And if the mold came from a leak that is still wet, we start with structural drying.

Mold Removal FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Mold Removal

Questions we hear about Mold Removal in Orem, UT.

Talk to our crew
How long does structural drying take?
Most jobs run three to five days. Hardwood floors, thick subfloors and water inside wall cavities can take longer. We take moisture readings every day and remove the equipment only when wet materials match the readings from a dry part of the house.
How do I keep pipes from freezing in Utah County?
Disconnect garden hoses before the first hard freeze so frost-free hose bibs can drain. Keep the garage door closed in cold snaps, open sink cabinets on exterior walls and never set the thermostat below the mid 50s when you travel. If you have a sprinkler system, have it blown out in the fall.
Is it safe to clean up a sewage backup myself?
We do not recommend it. Sewage is Category 3 water that carries bacteria and viruses. Porous materials it touched need to be removed, and hard surfaces need to be disinfected. A shop vac and bleach will not do it, and the vac itself becomes contaminated.
Do you test for mold?
Yes. We inspect with moisture meters and a thermal camera, then take spore trap air samples with an outdoor control sample and surface samples when growth is visible. Samples go to an independent lab and you get the report.
Do you still do carpet cleaning?
Yes. Carpet cleaning is where the Ward Brothers name started, and we still clean carpet and upholstery with hot water extraction across Orem and north Utah County. If a carpet stays damp or smells musty, we check what is under it with a moisture meter.
