Mold help in Tulsa

Mold grows where there's moisture, often after a leak or flood that wasn't dried quickly. We connect Tulsa-area homeowners and renters with independent local mold remediation providers. The referral is free.

Fix the water first

Mold comes back if the moisture source isn't fixed. If there's an active leak or recent flooding, start with water damage help or plumbing help. The EPA says wet materials should be dried within 24–48 hours to help prevent mold.

When to call a professional

• The moldy area is larger than about 10 square feet. That's the EPA's guideline for when to consider a professional (EPA: A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture and Your Home).
• Mold is in your heating or cooling ducts. The EPA advises not running the system if you suspect this.
• The water was sewage or floodwater.
• You have health concerns. Talk to a health professional first.

What remediation usually involves

1. Finding and fixing the moisture source
2. Containing the area so spores don't spread
3. Cleaning hard surfaces and removing porous materials, like drywall or carpet, that can't be cleaned
4. Drying everything thoroughly

Questions to ask before you hire

• Are you licensed (where required) and insured? Can I see proof?
• Will I get a written estimate and scope of work?
• How will you find and fix the moisture source?
• Will you work with my insurer?

Ask any mold company about their training, certifications and insurance, and get a written scope of work.
