Mold Remediation & Removal
Mold can start growing within 24–48 hours of water exposure. Our IICRC-certified team identifies it, contains it, removes it safely, and treats the source so it stays gone.

Why Mold Requires Professional Remediation
Visible mold is rarely the whole problem — the spores you can't see spread through HVAC systems, attics, and wall cavities. Scrubbing surface mold with bleach disturbs the colony and releases spores throughout your home, often making the problem worse.
Mold also signals a moisture problem that won't fix itself. Without finding and correcting the source — a leak, high humidity, or hidden water damage — any mold you remove will simply return.
Doan Restoration is IICRC certified for mold remediation. Every job runs HEPA air scrubbers under negative-pressure containment, with documented start-to-clearance testing so you can prove the property is safe to insurers and future buyers.
Our Proven 5-Step Mold Remediation Process
Inspection & Air Quality Testing
We locate the colony, identify the moisture source, and test air quality so we know exactly what we are dealing with.
Containment Setup
We seal off the affected area under negative air pressure to stop spores from spreading during removal.
HEPA Scrubbing & Safe Removal
HEPA air scrubbers run continuously while we safely remove contaminated materials.
Antimicrobial Treatment & Source Repair
We treat surfaces with antimicrobial agents and correct the moisture source feeding the mold.
Post-Remediation Clearance Testing
Independent clearance testing confirms the space is safe and gives you documentation for insurance or resale.

We Work With All Major Insurance Providers
We know how to navigate every major carrier's process efficiently and get your claim moving fast.
Expert Documentation & Direct Billing
We provide detailed documentation and bill your insurance company directly, reducing your out-of-pocket expense.
Maximize Coverage, Minimize Hassle
We fight for every dollar you deserve while handling the paperwork and phone calls with your adjuster.
Common Causes of Mold in Michigan Homes
Unaddressed Water Damage
Any water intrusion left to dry on its own — a leak, a flood, a slow drip — can seed a mold colony within 24–48 hours.
High Indoor Humidity
Michigan summers are humid. Without dehumidification, humidity above 60% lets mold thrive on walls, ceilings, and contents.
Basement & Crawlspace Moisture
Below-grade spaces stay cool and damp year-round, making them the most common place mold takes hold in Michigan homes.
Roof & Plumbing Leaks
Slow leaks behind walls and above ceilings keep materials damp and out of sight — ideal conditions for hidden mold growth.
Poor Ventilation
Bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms without adequate ventilation trap moisture that feeds mold on nearby surfaces.
Past Flooding
Homes that have flooded — especially basements — are prone to recurring mold unless the structure was dried and treated properly.
What to Do When You Discover Damage
Do This
- 1. Call Doan Restoration at (586) 842-8142 for an inspection
- 2. Fix or shut off any active water source if you can
- 3. Keep humidity down with a dehumidifier or A/C
- 4. Limit traffic through the affected area
- 5. Document visible mold with photos for your records
- 6. Run bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans
Avoid This
- 1. Don't scrub or bleach mold yourself — it spreads spores
- 2. Don't run HVAC if mold may be in the ductwork
- 3. Don't use fans that blow across mold and disperse spores
- 4. Don't paint or caulk over mold — it keeps growing underneath
- 5. Don't ignore a musty smell — it usually means hidden mold
Mold Remediation FAQ
Is mold dangerous?
Certain molds cause allergic reactions, asthma flares, and respiratory issues — especially for children, the elderly, and the immunocompromised. Professional remediation is the safe choice.
How long does remediation take?
Most residential remediations finish in 2–5 days, depending on the size of the affected area and what needs to be replaced.
Will the mold come back?
Only if the moisture source comes back. We identify and document the source so it can be fixed permanently.
Do you provide clearance testing?
Yes. We document the project from start to finish and provide post-remediation clearance testing so you can prove the space is safe.
Will insurance cover mold remediation?
Coverage depends on the cause. Mold resulting from a covered water loss is often covered; long-term neglect usually is not. We help you understand your coverage.
Do you have a location near me?
Very likely — we have offices and crews across Michigan, so there's usually a Doan Restoration team close by. We respond 24/7/365 to communities throughout eastern and central Michigan and beyond.
