Superior sits across the Boulder County line northwest of Arvada and Broomfield, on US 36 under the Flatirons. The original town is a few blocks of 1900s coal-camp houses east of McCaslin, and everything else is Rock Creek, a 1990s and 2000s subdivision of two-stories with deep basements that made the town grow from a few hundred people to about thirteen thousand. On December 30, 2021, the Marshall Fire burned 378 homes in Superior in an afternoon, driven by hundred-mile-an-hour downslope winds.
The rebuilt houses are new, but hundreds of homes that survived took smoke, broken windows, and firefighting water, and many of them have been reopened since to find damp insulation and drywall behind the repairs. The Rock Creek basements that were never near the fire still have the usual Front Range problems: a settled egress well and a sump pump at the end of its life.
Homeowners in Superior 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.
Damp drywall found behind a smoke repair is mold removal. A Rock Creek basement where the sump quit during a wet May is whole-home mold remediation. Ducts and a furnace that carried firefighting moisture are HVAC mold cleaning.
The Town of Superior has run its own building department through the largest rebuild of any Colorado town this century, and every permit for a reopened wall or a new foundation in Rock Creek goes through it.
Call (720) 823-6943 and tell us what you see. We put you through to a local mold provider serving Superior.
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.
