Rated 4.9 by Asheville-area neighbors
Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
Honest company. They told us the mold patch was small enough to clean ourselves and even explained how.

Local knowledge
Sewage Mold Remediation for Asheville, NC homes
Sewage Mold Remediation in Asheville tends to start the same way mold does across Buncombe County: plumbing leaks and poor ventilation that let damp air linger and mold spread. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Hillcrest Apts, Woodfin, Biltmore Forest and the rest of Asheville call us.
We handle sewage mold remediation for Asheville the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Mills River, about 25 minutes from our Mills River base, so we can usually reach a Asheville home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

Good to know
Sewage Mold Remediation in Asheville, NC: common questions
Is a sewage backup more dangerous than a regular water leak?
Yes, sewage contamination carries health hazards a clean water leak doesn't, which is why porous materials are typically removed rather than dried and reused.
Does sewage cause mold faster than clean water?
The combination of moisture and organic contamination can create favorable conditions for mold to develop quickly, so fast response matters.
Will insurance cover a sewage backup?
Coverage depends on your specific policy, sometimes requiring a sewer backup rider. We document the damage thoroughly to support your claim.
How soon can you start sewage mold remediation in Asheville?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Asheville home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Should I try to clean up a sewage backup myself?
It's best to avoid direct contact and call a professional crew, since proper protective equipment and disposal practices are important for safety.
What materials do you remove after a sewage backup?
Porous materials like carpet, carpet padding, and drywall that contacted sewage are generally removed and disposed of rather than cleaned in place.
Do I need to leave my Asheville home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Asheville home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Asheville?
Yes. We cover all of Asheville, including Hillcrest Apts, Woodfin, Biltmore Forest, and the rest of the Asheville area. We are based in Mills River, about 25 minutes from our Mills River base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
