"I would highly recommend caution if you are thinking about hiring Drymaxx. We bought a new house and 4 nights later our basement flooded in a big storm. We were unable to find a local company as there was a huge number of people needing service. Drymaxx put together a team to come up from Ohio to Indiana and it seemed like such a blessing at the time. However, their work put us in a potentially terrible situation. Upon arrival the operations director put forth a plan to remove baseboards and drill holes in the drywall to ensure proper dry out. We had pulled up our carpet to collect the padding and Drymaxx did nothing to remediate it besides leaving it rolled up wet and putting a couple blowers on it. Unsurprisingly, it was still wet 4 days later and they told my wife to check with another company to see if it was salvageable. They also did not drill holes in the drywall per their plan. When my wife inquired about it specifically, they assured her it would dry out just fine. After they left my wife was able to find a local company with availability to come in a look at the carpet. They were shocked it was left like that and removed it as it was unsalvageable. They took moisture readings and found a 79% humidity reading in the main room and moisture in the drywall. They had to cut out at least a foot of drywall all around the basement. Once the drywall was off, my wife was able to see visibly wet framing in several areas. Upon contacting the operations director of Drymaxx and sending pictures, he simply expressed surprise the drywall was moist and offered no follow up whatsoever. Then we recieved a bill for $8000 with ridiculous pricing like $1000 for baseboard removal which was a one man job that might take 2-3 hrs at most. The company that cleaned up their mess did a similar amount of work and only charged $2000 for everything. Drymaxx wanted 4 times that even though they did a poor job that could have led to a serious mold problem. I contacted drymaxx several times to work out a solution but the most they would come down was to $5000. Still two and a half times what the other company charged to clean up terrible work. We are contesting the bill and would highly recommend not hiring drymaxx for your project."

"Greg the inspector came out, nice guy very knowledgeable, I spent 14800 in waterproofing and mold removal, new sump pump and a air purifier. Greg and I went over everything the crew was going to do. Well where the water issue I was most concerned about , they side step and only put the drain tile down the middle and not at both sides. Stay Dry ended up sending 1 person to put tile in on both sides and fixed that issue, now I am having water issue where I was not having issues before and come to find out where my water line comes in they just put gravel under and did not put the concrete back in that area. So now I have a new leak and I can't seem to get this company to come back out for a 3rd time to fix this issue. Also I have water coming up from the newly concrete floor, I was told that the concrete has to cure for awhile which I understand that, but I don't think it should be seeping up along the cracks where the new and old concrete meets. Waiting on this company to correct."

Complete kitchen and bathroom remodeling. 30+ years experience making your house become your home. No job too little and no job too big. Owner operated and all work done by me. I treat every home as if it were my own. I look forward to paying attention to everything important to you.
"Jim did a beautiful job with our bathroom. He was very in tune with what we wanted and was extremely flexible when our minds were changed. He ran into some unexpected issues that he took care of. He took great care to do the job right with great detail. Jim is somewhat of a perfectionist, which is a good thing when you want a beautiful final product, but it did cause the job to take longer than expected. We will take the trade-off! Jim couldn't be friendlier or more accommodating."

Some states require mold removal specialists to be licensed, while others require licensed mold testing companies to create remediation protocols that any contractor can carry out. You can use our state licensing tool to find requirements in your area. In either case, it’s imperative that you hire an experienced professional for mold removal to ensure the safety of your home and your family.
It’s possible to scrub mold off of visible surfaces yourself, but it’s not usually a good idea. Mold is not only a potential health risk, but it’s also difficult to treat in its entirety, especially because it can grow behind walls and in other hidden areas a DIYer might miss. Since mold is a serious and often pervasive issue, you should hire a professional that will remove all of the mold—including any that might be hidden—run industrial air scrubbers to remove airborne particles, and complete mold testing to ensure the underlying problem is solved.
The most effective way to remove mold includes testing affected surfaces and the air for spores, creating a protocol for removal, carrying out the steps within the protocol, running air scrubbers for the recommended amount of time, and then completing a post-remediation round of testing to confirm the issue is solved. Since this work is very involved and there are health risks if done incorrectly, you should always hire an experienced professional to handle mold removal.
The average cost for mold remediation is around $2,200, and most projects fall somewhere between $1,100 and $3,300. Your total will depend on many factors, including the surface area that is affected by mold, the extent of the issue, how much building material your professional needs to replace, whether or not testing is necessary for safety reasons, and existing indoor air quality.
Mold removal will take between one and five days in most cases, but severe mold issues can take several weeks to correct. Your timeline will depend on how much mold there is in your home, where the mold is located, and how much testing and aftercare is required. If you have mold behind your walls or you have an excessive amount of mold that requires removal and running air scrubbers for several days, you could be looking at over a week for the process to be completed.
