Challenges Solved

Extensive Fungal Contamination & Moisture Damage

Moisture intrusion impacted multiple zones of the home—including the exterior, loft, basement HVAC room, recreational room, and bedroom. Fungal growth extended to wallboards, baseboards, structural framing, and areas around windows. Frontier Restoration leveraged its environmental mitigation experience to isolate the affected areas, eliminate moisture sources, and restore healthy air quality throughout the property.

Correcting Previous Substandard Work

Prior to Frontier’s involvement, another contractor had performed incomplete and improper remediation work on the property. Frontier Restoration carefully evaluated the site, addressed the existing gaps, and executed a fully compliant remediation plan from start to finish.

Health Safety & 3rd-Party Compliance

Addressing severe mold requires strict adherence to technical guidelines to alleviate homeowner health concerns. The Frontier team worked directly alongside independent third-party environmental inspectors, maintaining negative pressure containment and full PPE safety protocols throughout the job to ensure full compliance with IICRC standards.

Homeowner Review

Frontier came to our rescue after a botched mold remediation by another local company. We were so overwhelmed and unsure of who to trust. Caleb came in and evaluated our situation and along with our test results came up with a plan.

Caleb is knowledgeable and informative and really took the fear factor away and presented a clear plan. He is committed to excellence and seeing that the end result is nothing less than what he promised.

Aiden and Issac were our primary remediators and I cannot say enough good things about both of them. They were always respectful of our home and very thorough in their work.

I appreciated how they were always willing to answer my questions and keep me informed about their findings. We definitely were not an easy job and it took much longer than planned, but I am so thankful that they followed through to finish the job and give us our healthy home back. Frontier’s commitment to integrity is a rare find.
