New drywall, fresh paint, and mold showing up within weeks usually means moisture got trapped behind a surface during construction. We'll give you a straight answer about what actually happened.

Our technicians are trained to diagnose whether it's a fresh plumbing tie-in, a ventilation change, or simple trapped construction moisture behind the Portland, OR job.
We'd rather coordinate with your original contractor on a warranty callback than have you pay twice for the same underlying issue. We keep photos and notes from every job in case they're useful for a future warranty conversation.
What sets our Mold Removal crew apart in Portland.
We identify whether trapped construction moisture, a plumbing tie-in, or ventilation change caused the Portland problem. We coordinate with your original contractor if a callback under their warranty makes sense first.
Fresh drywall and cured paint respond differently to treatment than older materials. We won't damage recent finish work while treating what's underneath it.
Nothing changes mid-job unless the scope genuinely does. We understand renovation budgets are often already stretched thin.
Most Portland removal calls get an appointment the same day, sometimes within hours. Catching this early usually means less has to come back apart.
Here's exactly what our Mold Removal service covers in Portland, OR.
We identify whether the paint itself is trapping moisture underneath before choosing a treatment approach.
We check recent tie-ins specifically, since this is where a lot of post-renovation problems actually originate.
This step matters even more on fresh materials that haven't had years to compact.
We match the antimicrobial product to the specific new surface โ fresh drywall, new tile, recent trim โ rather than a generic spray.
Renovations sometimes alter airflow in ways that create new condensation points nobody anticipated.
We re-inspect the treated surface before leaving, confirming growth is actually resolved.
Here's what a Portland removal appointment looks like after a renovation, start to finish.
