Stachybotrys requires a different level of response than common surface molds. Every service below reflects that.
🔍
Black Mold Identification & Assessment
Visual black or dark green coloring doesn't always mean Stachybotrys. We confirm species via lab analysis before applying the enhanced protocol. Some black-appearing molds are Cladosporium or Aspergillus niger — still warrant removal, but different containment tier.
😷
Full PPE & Containment Setup
Full body PPE, double polyethylene containment, negative air pressure, and sticky mat decon — this is the setup before a single piece of black-mold-contaminated material is disturbed in your Caledonia, MN property.

Complete Stachybotrys Material Removal
All Stachybotrys-contaminated porous materials are removed and disposed of. Drywall, insulation, carpet, and subfloor materials that are confirmed contaminated come out completely — no exceptions, no shortcuts.
💧
Structural Surface Treatment & Encapsulation
After contaminated materials are removed, exposed structural framing is HEPA-vacuumed, treated with EPA-registered fungicide, and where appropriate, sealed with mold-resistant encapsulant. This dual approach — chemical treatment plus physical barrier — is the standard for Stachybotrys-affected structural materials in Caledonia, MN.
📋
Independent Post-Removal Air Testing
Independent IH clearance sampling after every Black Mold Removal job. Written lab report confirming post-removal air quality — not just our assessment that the work is done.
🏗
Moisture Source Identification & Correction
Stachybotrys only grows on consistently wet cellulosic material. Its presence means there's been a sustained moisture source — typically a leaking pipe, roof infiltration, or chronic condensation issue. We identify and document the moisture source on every Caledonia, MN black mold job and provide specific corrective recommendations, because removal without source correction means regrowth.
