Mold and moisture found mid-remodel
- Pre-construction moisture assessment before you bid
- Containment and negative air so your other trades keep working
- The live job page, so you schedule subs off readings
- Post-remediation verification for the file
- A compensated referral relationship
Where this usually goes wrong
You open a wall on day three and there is black staining across the bottom plate and the back of the sheathing. The job stops, the homeowner is now scared instead of excited, your framer is scheduled for Thursday, and remediation is not your trade or your equipment. Every day the trailer sits is money, and every day the client waits is a change order they are going to fight you on.
What you get
Every line here is about what your client experiences after you hand us their name, because that experience is what your referral is made of.
Your schedule holds
Mold found mid-remodel. Your schedule survives. We scope around your sequence rather than ours: containment goes up, the affected area is isolated, and the space comes back cleared and documented with a date you can hold your subs to.
Build-back stays yours
We do mitigation and remediation and nothing past it. We do not bid build-back, quote a remodel, or introduce ourselves to your client as a general contractor. When one of our own jobs needs a builder, we call a contractor who works with us. Your scope stays yours in both directions.
Your client hears it from someone with no stake in the change order
A homeowner accepts "there is mold in this wall and here is the scope" much faster from an independent remediation company than from the contractor who benefits from the extra work. That is the single biggest thing this does for you, and it costs you nothing.
Your other trades keep working
Six-mil poly, a zippered entry, and a negative air machine exhausting outside hold the work area under pressure, so electrical, plumbing, and framing carry on everywhere else in the house. The remediation becomes one room instead of a full stop on the whole project.
You can build over it with something in the file
Written scope, dated photos, moisture readings, and post-remediation verification showing the area was cleared. When the client sells that house in four years and the buyer's inspector asks, your client has documentation instead of your phone number.
The partner portal
Framing moisture content against your build schedule
The remediation sits inside your critical path, so you get the same page we work from. On Tuesday you can watch the framing moisture content coming down toward what the unaffected framing in that house reads, and decide for yourself whether Thursday still holds.
- Status
- containment up, demolition done, drying running, cleared
- Completion date
- the day the space comes back to you, and whether it still holds
- Readings
- daily moisture content on the framing and the assembly you have to build over
- Photos
- numbered and dated, ready to drop straight into your project file
- Documents
- the scope, the estimate, and post-remediation verification
Checked the day before the framer is booked.
The partner view of a live job
Situations we handle for you
Day three of a bathroom remodel, you open the wall behind the shower and find staining across the bottom plate.
We are on site to assess, set containment, and give you a written scope with a completion date. In most cases the isolated area is one room and the rest of the job proceeds on schedule.
You are bidding a whole-house remodel on a 1960s home and want to know what is behind the walls first.
Free pre-construction moisture and mold assessment before you price it. Thermal imaging and meters at the exterior walls, under the house, and the wet areas. Discovering it during a walkthrough is a line item in your bid; discovering it on day three is a change order and an argument.
A supply line fails overnight in a vacant remodel and soaks fresh drywall and new flooring.
Extraction and structural drying that night, plus documentation of what was new and what was affected so the claim reflects the actual value of the materials lost. New construction that gets wet and is closed up wet is a mold job six months later.
You suspect asbestos in old flooring or duct wrap and the demo crew is already there.
We tell you to stop and get it tested rather than guessing at it. We do not touch suspect material outside our scope. If it comes back positive we coordinate with a licensed abatement contractor and pick up after. Nobody on your job disturbs something they should not have.
Referral terms
How the referral arrangement works
A general contractor who hands us mitigation gets a compensated referral relationship. Because we do not bid build-back, nothing we pay you competes with the work you actually wanted off this job. The terms get agreed in a conversation before the first job and put in writing. Nothing we pay a partner appears on a property owner's invoice, and no job is scoped or priced differently because a referral came with it.
Ask what the arrangement looks like on the first call. Compensation is never a condition of us taking a job, and you can decline it and keep every other part of the program.
Ask on the first call: (208) 391-5248Yours to hand out
Concrete things you get as a partner. Most of them exist so your client’s next question already has an answer.
- The remediation on a live link, with the daily framing readings your sequence depends on
- Free pre-construction moisture and mold assessment before you bid, so it lands in the estimate instead of a change order
- Six-mil containment and negative air set the same day, so the rest of your trades keep working
- A written line-item scope you can hand the homeowner directly, in Xactimate format
- Post-remediation verification documentation for your project file
Questions we get
How fast can you get on site when we find something?
Call (208) 391-5248, tell us what you are looking at and what your schedule is, and you get a real arrival window on that call rather than a vague promise you have to plan around. Trailer days cost money, so we would rather say a number and hold it.
Are you going to try to take my remodel?
No. We do mitigation and remediation and hand the space back. We do not bid build-back against the contractor who called us, and build-back on our own jobs goes out to contractors who work with us. If that were not true, no general contractor would ever call us twice.
Is there compensation for a referral?
Yes, on the same footing as the other trade programs. The one that matters to you is that we do not bid build-back, so nothing we pay you is competing with the work you wanted off the job in the first place.
Do you handle asbestos?
No. We remediate mold and handle water damage. If suspect material shows up we stop, tell you to test, and coordinate with a licensed abatement contractor. We would rather send you elsewhere for two days than have your crew disturb something that becomes a much larger problem.
Will this actually blow my schedule?
Containment lets the rest of the house keep moving, so in most cases the delay is limited to the affected area. We give you a completion date up front and tell you immediately if anything changes it, because you have subs booked against it.
