Mold Remediation in Vermont
Local assessment and scheduled restoration work from KPM Restoration Vermont.
01 How We Help
Remediation starts with the moisture, not the mold.
Visible mold is often only part of the problem. Successful remediation requires controlling moisture, protecting unaffected rooms, removing contaminated porous materials when necessary, and cleaning the affected area thoroughly.
Before we arrive
Avoid disturbing suspected growth or running fans through the area. If there is an active leak, address the water source first when it is safe to do so.
02 Our Process
How a mold remediation job runs.
01
Find the moisture source
We evaluate the affected area and identify conditions supporting growth.
02
Contain and remediate
Work areas are isolated while affected materials are removed and surfaces are cleaned.
03
Dry and prevent recurrence
The area is returned to a dry condition with recommendations to reduce future risk.
03 In Rutland County
Vermont does not license mold work. Ask what standard we use.
This is worth knowing before you hire anyone. Vermont has no state mold remediation licence and no mold-specific contractor credential. Across the border in New York, mold work is licensed under Labor Law Article 32. In Vermont the standard a contractor holds themselves to is voluntary, so ask every company you call what theirs is and how they will prove the work was done.
Ours is the IICRC, the body that writes the restoration industry's standards. Our technicians are IICRC certified, and our crews carry OSHA 40-hour HAZWOPER training for contaminated-environment work. Neither is required by Vermont, which is exactly why it is worth asking about.
Local conditions do most of the work. A third of the county's housing predates 1940, and 5,922 units are seasonal properties that sit closed and unheated through the winter. A camp shut in October and opened in May has had seven months of still, damp air to work with.
KPM does not perform mold inspections or testing. We assess visually as part of intake, and when independent testing or clearance is appropriate we point you to a qualified third party rather than grading our own work.
04 Frequently Asked Questions
Mold Remediation questions we get asked.
Can mold be cleaned without removing materials?
Some nonporous materials can be cleaned. Porous materials with established growth may need to be removed depending on condition and scope.
Do you perform mold testing?
Testing is not always necessary. When independent testing or clearance is appropriate, we can coordinate with qualified third-party professionals.
What causes mold in Vermont properties?
Common causes include basement humidity, roof or plumbing leaks, ice dams, inadequate ventilation, groundwater, and materials left wet after a loss.
Does Vermont license mold remediation companies?
No. Vermont has no state mold remediation licence and no mold-specific contractor credential, unlike New York, where the work is licensed under Labor Law Article 32. That means the standard a Vermont contractor works to is voluntary, so it is worth asking every company you call what theirs is. Ours is the IICRC, and our technicians are IICRC certified. Our crews also carry OSHA 40-hour HAZWOPER training.
