Basements are tough because mold can grow on almost anything down there: concrete, wood framing, carpet, stored belongings, ceiling joists, ductwork, and the back of finished drywall you’d never want to rip out. The traditional approach is demolition first, treatment second. We use Pure Maintenance’s patented VaPURE technology instead. Our antimicrobial sterilant reaches mold on exposed surfaces and concealed ones, including behind finished walls, inside ceiling cavities, and through connected ductwork. It treats mold on contact without tearing the space apart first.
Then we apply a protective coating that bonds to treated surfaces and helps stop regrowth, which matters in a space that stays damp. We also figure out where the water is coming from, whether that’s foundation seepage, condensation, drainage, or a plumbing issue, so you know what needs fixing. Most basements are done in a single day.
