Mold Testing + Remediation
Mold growth is typically associated with prolonged moisture conditions within building materials. Leaks, humidity, condensation, or prior water damage can create concealed damp environments where microbial growth develops behind walls, beneath flooring, or within structural cavities. Even when visible growth appears limited, the underlying moisture conditions may extend beyond the immediately affected area.
Kelley Restoration provides mold inspection, testing, remediation, and moisture stabilization services to identify affected materials, evaluate underlying moisture conditions, and safely address contamination. Our approach focuses on correcting the moisture conditions contributing to microbial growth — not simply treating visible surfaces.
❋ Signs of Potential Mold ConditionsMold issues may be suspected when properties experience:
• Musty or persistent odors
• Past leaks or water damage
• Visible staining or spotting on surfaces
• Peeling paint or deteriorating materials
• Elevated humidity or condensation
• Reported indoor air quality concerns
Even small or localized growth can indicate broader concealed moisture conditions.
❋ Why Mold Problems PersistMold requires three elements to grow: moisture, organic material, and time. Building materials such as drywall, wood, insulation, and dust can support microbial growth when elevated moisture is present. Without proper drying and removal of affected materials, growth can continue or return after superficial cleaning.
Hidden moisture can remain trapped within assemblies long after a leak or water event, allowing mold to develop out of sight. Professional remediation targets both contamination and the moisture conditions that caused it.
Our Mold Remediation Approach
Our goal is to return materials to clean, stable conditions and reduce the likelihood of recurrence. Kelley Restoration follows IICRC-aligned remediation practices to contain contamination and stabilize affected materials.

Our Mold Testing Approach
Kelley Restoration provides mold inspection and testing services to help identify elevated moisture conditions, concealed microbial growth, and areas requiring further evaluation within the property. Testing services can include moisture assessment and mapping, wall cavity inspection, air and surface sampling, third-party laboratory analysis, documentation, and recommendations based on observed site conditions.
