Lamar Heights is the neighborhood just north of Olde Town, between Wadsworth and Sheridan around 60th to 64th avenues, built mostly between 1958 and 1968 as brick ranches, split-levels, and a few farmhouse-style two-stories on flat lots. Thundercloud Park sits at about 5,500 feet in the middle of it with tennis courts and a view west to the Front Range.
These are the houses that set Arvada's pattern: a full poured or block basement, a single window well per bedroom, a floor drain and often a sump added later, a hall bath with a window and no fan, and a furnace in a basement utility room with a humidifier bolted to the plenum. Sixty winters of clay movement show as a diagonal crack at a basement window corner.
Homeowners in Lamar Heights reach an independent local mold provider through this site's phone line. The provider reads the walls with a meter and tells you what the house needs; our part is the phone call.
A diagonal foundation crack feeding a finished basement wall is mold removal. The hall bath that spots every winter is bathroom mold removal. A furnace humidifier pad that has grown a green coat is HVAC mold cleaning.
Secrest Recreation Center and its outdoor pool beside Secrest Park belong to Apex Park and Recreation District, the special district that runs Arvada's rec centers, ice, and golf, and the pool deck is where most of these houses' owners first compare notes about their basements.
Call (720) 823-6943 and tell us what you see. We put you through to a local mold provider serving Lamar Heights.
Growth on a finished basement wall, behind a laundry room, or under a window well leak: room sealed, wet board cut to the meter line, framing HEPA-cleaned and dried.
A dark patch on basement drywall or a bathroom ceiling handled by how far the water traveled, not its color: containment, porous material out, source fixed first.
A sump pump that quit during the melt or a supply line that ran for weeks, mapped floor by floor and cleared in zones as one project.
Furnace cabinet, coil, humidifier pad, and return ducts cleaned when a basement air handler or a swamp cooler has been pushing damp air through the house.
Growth behind a vanity, under a shower pan, or on a ceiling with no fan, removed once the drain, supply line, or venting problem is fixed.
Dark streaks on roof sheathing after hail, an ice dam, or a bath fan venting into the attic, cleaned and treated once the roof and the venting are corrected.
A musty basement in a house that looks fine, traced to wet carpet pad, a damp wall cavity, or a crawl space, then removed and treated at the source.
Drywall, insulation, baseboard, and carpet pad put back after removal, once the wall reads dry and the crack or leak that started it is repaired.
