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.

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.
They found mold under the flooring that two other companies missed. Thorough and skilled.

Good to know
Wood Framing Mold Removal in West Freehold, 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.
Do I need to leave my West Freehold home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the West Freehold home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
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 West Freehold?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a West Freehold home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Do you serve West Freehold?
Yes. We cover all of West Freehold, including Freehold, East Freehold, Yorketown, and the rest of the West Freehold area. We are based in Colts Neck, about 15 minutes from our Colts Neck base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
