Mold Removal in Carson City, NV
Carson City has been the capital since Nevada was a territory, and it has been a city without a county since April 1969, when Ormsby County folded into it. It sits at about 4,700 feet in Eagle Valley with the Carson Range on the west and the Carson River on the east, gets around nine inches of rain and fourteen inches of snow in a normal year, and has close to 59,000 people spread across housing from the 1860s to the 2000s.
That spread is what shapes the mold calls. The brick and Victorian homes west of Carson Street sit on stone foundations with shallow crawl spaces. The ranches from the 1950s to 1970s north and south of downtown have swamp coolers on the roof and copper lines through the attic. The subdivisions from the 1990s on the east side back up to the river, and some of them took water in January 1997, at New Year's 2006, and in February 2017.
This site puts Carson City 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.
Carson City mold, from the crawl space up
The most common call is a musty smell with nothing visible, which almost always ends in crawl space mold remediation once someone pulls the hatch after the spring melt. A stained ceiling under a roof cooler or along a north eave becomes attic mold remediation. A soft wall behind a water heater or under a bathroom window is mold removal, and the crew reads the wall with a meter before deciding how much of it goes.
Where to call in Carson City
Water inside the house is on the homeowner's side of the meter, and Carson City Public Works runs the water and sewer system for the city. Permits for the rebuild go through the Carson City Building Division at the city's Community Development office. Both are city departments, not part of this site.
The city's geography is easy to read from the air. Carson City Airport sits three miles northeast of downtown on the flat ground the river left behind, and everything between there and the mountains drains toward it.

Roof-deck and rafter mold from ice dams, swamp cooler lines, and warm indoor air hitting a cold roof, cleaned and the cause corrected.
