After a slow leak was found behind our bathroom wall, I assumed we'd need new studs. They cleaned and treated the framing instead, checked the moisture level carefully, and explained why replacement wasn't necessary in our case.

Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Glen Rock-area neighbors
Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
Our crawl space mold was worse than we thought. They handled the full remediation and installed a vapor barrier too.

Good to know
Wood Framing Mold Removal in Glen Rock, NJ: common questions
Do you always replace moldy wood framing?
No. Solid framing lumber with surface mold can usually be cleaned and treated rather than replaced. Replacement is reserved for wood that's actually soft, rotted, or structurally compromised.
Is the antimicrobial treatment safe for my home?
We use EPA-registered antimicrobial products applied according to label instructions, and the area is ventilated as part of the drying process before anything is closed back up.
How long before framing can be closed back up?
It depends on the wood's starting moisture level and drying conditions, often a few days. We won't approve closing a wall until framing hits a safe moisture reading.
Is the wood framing mold removal you do in Glen Rock to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Bergen County.
How can you tell if wood needs replacing versus cleaning?
We check the texture and firmness with a probe alongside moisture readings. Solid, firm wood with surface staining gets cleaned and treated; soft or spongy wood signals rot and needs structural evaluation.
Can you treat framing without removing all the drywall?
If drywall has already been removed for another reason, we'll treat exposed framing while it's accessible. We generally don't remove intact drywall solely to treat framing that isn't showing signs of a problem.
How soon can you start wood framing mold removal in Glen Rock?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Glen Rock home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Do you serve Glen Rock?
Yes. We cover all of Glen Rock, including Ridgewood, Hawthorne, Fair Lawn, and the rest of the Glen Rock area. We are based in Township Of Washington, about 5 minutes from our Township Of Washington base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
