You stop worrying about whether your kids are breathing something dangerous. You stop second-guessing every cough or stuffy nose in the house. The musty smell disappears, and you can actually use that basement or bathroom again without holding your breath.
Your property value stays intact. Buyers won’t walk away during inspection because mold wasn’t addressed by someone who knew what they were doing. Insurance adjusters see documentation that holds up, so your claim doesn’t get hung up on missing photos or incomplete moisture maps.
You’re not dealing with the same problem six months from now because someone just wiped down the visible spots and called it done. Real mold remediation means finding the moisture source, drying it out completely, removing contaminated materials safely, and making sure it doesn’t come back. That’s what changes your situation from “we have a mold problem” to “we had a mold problem.”
We’ve been handling mold remediation across the Indianapolis metro area since 2016. We’re IICRC-certified in water damage restoration, applied structural drying, and applied microbial remediation—the credentials that matter when you’re trying to protect your family and your investment.
When you call, you talk to a real person. Not a voicemail, not an answering service. We’re on the road within 60 to 90 minutes, and we show up with moisture meters, thermal cameras, containment barriers, and HEPA filtration—not a spray bottle and a prayer.
Home Place sits in a part of Indiana where humidity doesn’t mess around. Basements stay damp, crawl spaces trap moisture, and older homes weren’t built with the vapor barriers we’d use today. We’ve seen what happens when mold gets ignored or halfway treated, and we’ve cleaned up after plenty of DIY attempts that made things worse. Our job is to handle it right so you don’t have to think about it again.
First, we assess the situation. That means finding every area where mold is growing—not just the spots you can see. We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to track down hidden water sources in walls, under flooring, and in crawl spaces. If the moisture problem isn’t fixed, mold will come back no matter how much scrubbing happens.
Next, we contain the work area. Mold spores spread easily, so we seal off the affected space with plastic sheeting and negative air pressure. HEPA filters run continuously to capture airborne spores before they reach your HVAC system or other rooms. We wear shoe covers, and we treat your home like it’s ours.
Then comes removal. Porous materials that are heavily contaminated—drywall, insulation, carpet—get bagged and disposed of properly. Hard surfaces get cleaned with antimicrobial treatments. We don’t just wipe things down and hope for the best.
Finally, we dry everything out and verify the work. Dehumidifiers and air movers run until moisture levels hit safe ranges. We document everything with photos and moisture readings, then walk you through the results. Two weeks later, we follow up to make sure nothing’s come back. You get a final report that shows the job was done correctly—helpful if you’re selling, refinancing, or just want peace of mind.
Ready to get started?
You get a full mold inspection with moisture mapping and thermal imaging to identify every affected area. We don’t charge separately for that—it’s part of understanding what we’re dealing with before we start tearing into walls or pulling up flooring.
Containment and air filtration are standard. We’re not tracking mold spores through your house or letting them settle into your HVAC ducts. Negative air machines with HEPA filters run the entire time we’re working, and containment barriers stay up until the job is finished and verified.
If you’re filing an insurance claim, we handle the documentation and communicate directly with your adjuster. Our pricing aligns with Xactimate, the software most insurers use, so there’s no back-and-forth over line items. You get photo documentation within 24 hours, then updates every 48 hours until the project wraps.
Indiana’s climate makes basements and crawl spaces prime targets for mold growth, especially in older Home Place properties where drainage and ventilation weren’t priorities during construction. We’ve handled plenty of situations where a small roof leak or plumbing drip turned into a bigger problem because it went unnoticed for months. Our job is to catch everything now so you’re not calling someone else in six months.
Most residential mold remediation projects in the Indianapolis area run between $1,500 and $4,000, depending on the size of the affected area and how much material needs to be removed. A small bathroom with surface mold on drywall will cost less than a finished basement where mold has spread behind walls and into insulation.
If the source is a covered peril—like a burst pipe or storm damage—your homeowners insurance may cover part or all of the remediation cost. We work directly with insurance companies and provide the documentation adjusters need to process claims quickly. If it’s a maintenance issue, like long-term humidity or a slow leak you didn’t know about, coverage gets trickier.
We give you a written estimate after the inspection, before any work starts. No surprises, no upselling. You’ll know what needs to happen and what it costs, and we’ll walk you through what your insurance is likely to cover based on what we’ve seen with other claims.
Small jobs—like a bathroom or closet—usually take two to three days from containment to final clearance. Larger projects, like a basement or multiple rooms, can take a week or more depending on how long it takes to dry everything out and whether we need to remove structural materials like studs or subfloor.
Drying time is the variable. Materials need to hit safe moisture levels before we can close up walls or reinstall flooring, and that depends on how wet things got and how long the moisture was sitting there. We’re not rushing that step just to finish faster—it’s the difference between a job that holds up and one that fails in a few months.
You’ll have access to most of your home during the work. We contain the affected area so you’re not displaced unless the mold problem is extensive. If we’re working in a basement, you can still use the upstairs. If it’s a bathroom, we’ll coordinate timing so the disruption is manageable.
If it’s a tiny spot on a windowsill or a small patch on bathroom caulking, you can probably handle it with a bleach solution and some scrubbing. But if you’re seeing mold on drywall, insulation, carpet, or anywhere that suggests a moisture problem behind the surface, DIY is a bad idea.
Mold spreads through spores, and disturbing it without proper containment just sends those spores into your HVAC system and throughout the house. You also can’t see what’s happening inside walls or under flooring without the right equipment. Most DIY attempts either miss the real problem or make contamination worse.
There’s also a liability issue. If you’re planning to sell your home, buyers will ask whether mold was professionally remediated. A disclosure that says “homeowner treated it” raises red flags during inspection. Professional documentation protects your property value and gives buyers confidence that the issue was handled correctly. We’ve been called in to fix plenty of DIY jobs that turned into bigger, more expensive problems.
Mold comes back if the moisture source isn’t fixed. That’s the whole game. You can remove every visible spore, treat every surface, and replace all the contaminated materials—but if water is still getting in, mold will return.
Our process includes identifying and addressing the root cause. If it’s a plumbing leak, that gets repaired. If it’s foundation seepage, we’ll recommend drainage improvements or a sump pump. If it’s humidity, we’ll talk about dehumidifiers and ventilation upgrades. We’re not just cleaning up the symptom.
After remediation, we follow up two weeks later to check moisture levels and make sure nothing’s growing back. If something does show up—which is rare when the source is properly addressed—we come back and handle it. The goal is to solve the problem once, not create a maintenance cycle where you’re calling us every year.
It depends on what caused the mold. If it’s the result of a sudden, covered event—like a burst pipe, roof damage from a storm, or an appliance malfunction—most Indiana homeowners policies will cover remediation costs. If it’s from long-term neglect, poor maintenance, or ongoing humidity issues, coverage is unlikely.
Insurance companies want to see that you acted quickly. Mold that develops because water damage sat untreated for weeks or months is harder to get covered. That’s why fast response matters—not just for your health, but for your claim.
We work with insurance adjusters regularly and know what documentation they need. We provide detailed moisture maps, photo timelines, and scope reports that align with Xactimate pricing. We can also bill your insurance directly in many cases, so you’re not fronting the full cost and waiting for reimbursement. If your policy has mold coverage limits—common in Indiana—we’ll help you understand what’s covered and what’s out-of-pocket before work starts.
Mold inspection is the assessment—figuring out where mold is growing, how bad it is, and what’s causing it. That includes visual inspection, moisture testing, thermal imaging, and sometimes air or surface sampling if you need lab confirmation of mold type. You’d do an inspection if you smell something musty but can’t find the source, or if you’re buying a home and want to know what you’re getting into.
Mold remediation is the actual removal and treatment. That’s containment, HEPA filtration, removing contaminated materials, cleaning surfaces, drying everything out, and verifying that moisture levels are back to normal. Remediation always starts with inspection—we need to know what we’re dealing with—but inspection alone doesn’t fix anything.
Some companies do inspection only and refer you elsewhere for remediation. We handle both, which means faster turnaround and no coordination headaches between two different contractors. If we find mold during the inspection, we’re already on-site with the equipment and crew to start containment and removal the same day. For homeowners in Home Place dealing with a time-sensitive problem, that speed matters.
