Mold Remediation

We Work With Your Insurance (If Applicable)

If insurance is involved, mold claims can be confusing—especially when moisture has been present for a while or the source isn’t obvious. BTN can provide clear remediation documentation, including photos, notes, and straightforward updates as work progresses, so you understand what’s happening and what’s next. Coverage decisions are made by your insurance company, but our goal is to keep the remediation process organized, transparent, and as stress-free as possible.

Mold Remediation: What to Expect and What to Do First

Mold issues usually start with a moisture problem—slow leaks, humid basements, poor ventilation, or water damage that didn’t fully dry. At first, it might look like a small spot on drywall or a musty smell that won’t go away. But mold can spread behind walls, under flooring, and into porous materials if the moisture source isn’t corrected. That’s why professional mold remediation isn’t just “spraying and wiping.” It’s a controlled process designed to identify the moisture source, contain the affected area, remove or clean impacted materials safely, and help prevent regrowth. The biggest mistake most people make is treating mold like a surface stain. Bleach or household cleaners may change the appearance, but they often don’t solve the underlying moisture problem—and disturbing mold can spread spores into clean areas. A safe, structured approach can make a major difference in both the scope of work and long-term results.

What To Do Immediately (Before Help Arrives)

If you suspect mold, these steps can help reduce risk while you’re waiting for service:

Why Mold Gets Worse Over Time

Mold needs moisture to grow. If a leak continues, humidity stays high, or wet materials remain damp, mold can continue spreading into drywall, insulation, wood framing, carpet, and contents. Even when mold is visible in one spot, the moisture source may be affecting a larger hidden area. The longer the conditions remain, the more likely it becomes that materials need removal rather than cleaning—and the more extensive the remediation becomes.

Please note: Stop the moisture and act early to reduce the overall scope and protect the space.

We Are IICRC Certified

Mold isn’t just a surface issue—it’s a moisture issue. If the source of moisture isn’t addressed, mold can return even after it “looks” cleaned. BTN Restoration Group is IICRC-certified, meaning we follow recognized industry standards and best practices for mold remediation, including proper assessment, containment when needed, and safe removal/cleaning methods. In plain English: we focus on fixing the conditions that caused the problem and remediating the affected areas the right way—so you can move toward “Back to Normal” with confidence.

Our Process

Tell us what you’re noticing (musty smell, visible growth, previous leak, damp basement) and where it’s happening.

We assess the affected areas, check for moisture and contributing conditions, and determine what needs to happen first. We’ll work with your insurance company if necessary.

We clean up the workspace, provide clear updates, and guide next steps to help keep the area dry and “Back to Normal.”

When Mold Becomes a Problem, Time Matters

Mold often spreads quietly—especially in basements, behind drywall, under flooring, or anywhere moisture lingers. The longer a leak, humidity issue, or past water damage goes unaddressed, the more mold can grow and the harder it can be to fully remediate. BTN Restoration Group helps Ohio homeowners and businesses respond fast with professional mold remediation, moisture source identification, containment when needed, and cleanup designed to stop the spread and help you get back to normal.
