Capitol Mold takes the high pressure sales tactics used by large remediation companies, and replaces it with honest interactions. We complete honest and in depth analysis of each job and walk you through every step, with evidence. Available from start to finish, from Assessment to Remediation, we make all of it happen seamlessly. Our services includes Remediation and Assessments (Assessments are not completed for AIQ Test Requests, only for potential remediation) (IAQ Testing is better suited for professionals who only perform testing) Testing Minimums included 2 Air-O-Cell Tests ($440 Minimum not including the Control Test) We do work with insurance companies using XACTIMATE. Our Company is fully licensed and insured for Mold Remediation and Assessments. All standards are followed under NORMI Protocol.

"When a leak was fixed that has caused to water to seep through my floorboards, I learned that I likely had mold in the crawlspace area underneath the flooring. I opened this job on Saturday afternoon fully expecting that the necessary mold remediation would be expensive. Murray at CapitolMold responded right away and came the next day on Sunday morning. Murray assessed the situation and explained my options. To my relief, his assessment was that the mold damage was relatively minor. He quoted me for the work and also explained that because the damage was relatively minor, I could do the remediation myself. Murray took the time to explain in detail how to do the work and recommended the necessary materials. I was very impressed with his honesty and willingness to impart his expertise. I highly recommend CapitolMold. I will not hesitate to call them again in the future."

"Although Norman was the best part of this terrible experience (nice, knowledgeable, and professional), the amount of money ?the office? charged me just to take down a portion of my ceiling (about 10x16) was outrageous. I asked for a quote to fix it only to find out that one was to take it down and one was to put it back. It cost me $3490 for about 4 hours worth of work and in that was $1125 just for an ?air mover? and a dehumidifier. I could have bought a dehumidifier for $189 that covers a 1500sf area at home depot. There is no way I would have paid $9000 for this job to take it down and put it back. No way I should have paid almost $3500 for a few hours of work for a job that was not completed (cause I was not paying another $5k just to hang drywall, finish it off and paint). I got another quote for 1/3 of that and they are going to replace my whole ceiling so it all looks the same. It would have cost me $3800 for the whole thing had I gone with this other company. I will not ever make this mistake again."

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

You’ll know you have smoke damage if you notice a lingering smoky odor, see soot or residue, or spot any discoloration of surfaces in your home. If you have any kind of house fire, always assume you have smoke damage and hire a professional who deals with smoke damage to assess the extent of the damage and restore your home to its pre-fire condition.

Depending on the amount of soot present, you can vacuum some of it using a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Then, remove the leftovers with a mild cleaner, such as dish soap or vinegar mixed with water. Before applying a cleaning solution, saturate the bricks with clean water to prevent the cleaner from penetrating beyond the surface and causing structural damage to the bricks.

Burning a single palm tree stump, if you’re careful, is technically doable DIY. However, you should always take precautions to control the fire and do research if you’re burning multiple types of trees. 

Some trees, such as ornamental trees, black cherry, and some oak trees, release toxins into the air when burned that can be irritating to your lungs (or even dangerous) to breathe in.

Professionals remove soot, restore structural integrity, and eliminate smoke odors safely.

Challenges include ensuring structural safety, completing soot removal, meeting restoration codes, and effectively managing insurance claims.
