Mold Removal in Reno, NV

Reno sits at about 4,500 feet on the east side of the Sierra, and the housing tells its history in rings. Brick and wood bungalows from the 1910s through the 1940s around downtown and the university, on crawl spaces with cast iron drains. Ranch homes from the 1960s and 70s across the northwest and southeast. Then the big stucco subdivisions that filled the south valleys and the foothills after 2000, most of them two stories on a slab.

The Truckee River runs through the middle of it. On New Year's Day 1997 it put several feet of water into downtown and the low ground along the river. It did it again on New Year's Eve 2005 and in January 2017. Homes along the river that took water and were closed up afterward are still the source of some of the calls.

This site puts Reno homeowners on the phone with an independent local mold provider. The provider looks at the house and explains what it needs. No work is done through the site itself.

Reno mold removal, from the crawl space up

In the older neighborhoods, a musty smell with nothing visible upstairs usually means crawl space mold remediation, because the leak has been running onto the joists. In the newer two-story homes, an upstairs bathroom leaking into a downstairs ceiling is the common start of bathroom mold removal. When the growth is on a wall and the leak is known, mold removal under containment is the straightforward job.

Where to call in Reno

Rebuilding a wall after removal usually needs a permit, and the City of Reno handles those through its online regional portal. The Building Permits page explains what needs one. The University of Nevada, Reno anchors the north side of town, and the blocks of older rentals around it are a steady source of calls from landlords and tenants both.
