Mountain View is twelve square blocks of Jefferson County between 44th Avenue and 38th, Sheridan and Harlan, incorporated in 1904 on land that had been John Brisben Walker's Berkeley Farm. About 540 people live in roughly 270 houses, almost all of them 1900s to 1950s cottages and brick bungalows on 25-foot lots, with a few new duplexes squeezed in since 2015.
The basements are cellars: low, often half-height, with brick or rubble walls and floor drains, and most were never meant to be finished. Owners who have put drywall and carpet down there have covered walls that sweat every spring, and a bathroom added in a cellar is a steam problem with nowhere to vent.
Homeowners in Mountain View 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 finished cellar with growth behind the drywall is mold removal. A basement bathroom with no fan in a 1915 bungalow is bathroom mold removal. A dark patch on a cellar wall beside the water heater is black mold removal.
The Town of Mountain View became home-rule in 1972 and still governs itself from a town hall on Benton Street, where the council meets the third Monday of each month and where a resident takes a permit question before any contractor opens a wall.
Call (720) 823-6943 and tell us what you see. We put you through to a local mold provider serving Mountain View.
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.
