It should come as no surprise that we would recommend contact a certified mold professional. Even better, one that also has a general contractor’s license like Mold Busters. This picture shows a homeowner doing demolition and encountering mold growth behind the wood paneling.

The owner called Mold Busters in to see what should be done. As a result we will be dry fogging the entire premise of the property to properly ensure the high mold spore count found in the air is addressed throughout. We will then SAFELY complete demolition for this particular customer who has also asked us to do light construction! We can do it all A to Z.

The short answer is “No!”

Take a look at these photos from a mold inspection in April 2025 where we also performed mold testing?

Water built up behind a basement window well, and came pouring along with the mud you see on the surface of the pink insulation under the window. It was unfinished basement, but there were a number of baseboards that grew mold even after the flood clean up and dry out. Notice the spots.

One of the huge advantages of Mold Busters’ dry fog is that you can leave the moldy dirt and the mold spots in place, without incurring the additional cost of throwing away all the affected insulation and other materials, and buying them new again.

We know that most home owners however would like the visual presence taken care of even if it can be covered up, and never seen. It bothers them too much to cover up the appearance of mold even though it has been moth killed and denatured.

With Mold Busters we can provide two quotes… the lower cost that nobody else can provide is 100% guaranteed to not affect occupant health, as well as a higher quote that includes complete removal of the harmless visual of mold. You get options!

We just visited a home where the customer called us for even a low mold situation—small mold spots and a bit of moldy grout.

For just a few hundred dollars, we can take care of this and give you peace of mind.

We would conduct a mold test either before, after, or both—depending on our discussion about the pros and cons of each option in this likely low-mold situation. With this information, the goal is to get you to a point where you can have 100% confidence that you and other occupants are safe from airborne mold spores.

Regardless of when the testing is done, we eliminate the mold wherever it is present. In this case, we dig out the compromised grout, apply new grout, and then reseal the entire shower floor. We also properly clean any mold spots and apply mold-resistant paint, returning your bathroom to pristine condition.

Since our primary technician is also a general contractor, you get the best of both worlds—the finest mold remediation services in Utah, along with professionally trained touch-up and reconstruction, if necessary.

The spots on the sheetrock next to the smoke detector are mold. Some molds can begin to grow within 24 hours of moisture being present, while other types may take 7–10 days before they really take off. When we see this amount of discoloration on the walls and ceilings, there is certainly a need for microbial remediation.

The reason there are different colors on the sheetrock is due to water. When water presents itself on most construction materials, it often leaves a residue or water mark as it dries. This is one way we can identify potential problems or past water issues when trying to determine what’s going on.

Yes!

There are major concerns here. You have active water running down the wall, as evidenced by the darker discoloration on the concrete. It’s clear that water has been present for a long time. The wooden joists are stained and show signs of long-term water damage, including rot and decay. As expected, there is a strong odor, which indicates a likely high mold count and infestation.
