β€œWe had a great experience with Jamie and his crew. They were always professional and flexible. After purchasing a home that needed mold intervention, Jamie came by to inspect at not cost. We provided our concerns and he gave us some feedback. When giving us an estimate, he considered the fact that we had just moved across the country and gave us an affordable treatment. They even came back to do a second round to our basement after we found some more paint bubbling. They provided us with great service, great counsel, and even provided us with some of their biocide to use whenever needed.”

What happened in Shawano

This Shawano job started when the new owners of a home found mold in the basement. CCS came out for a free inspection first, then handled the remediation.

The photos from August 2023 show the problem clearly. The poured basement walls had paint peeling away in patches along the lower half, with dark mold staining and white mineral deposits where moisture had been coming through the concrete. The damage ran along several walls, around the laundry area and behind the utility lines.

Painted concrete that peels like this is a sign of moisture moving through the wall from the outside. The remediation removes the loose paint and growth and treats the surface, and the moisture source gets addressed so the problem doesn't keep coming back. The homeowners said the crew was professional and flexible, and that they knew exactly what they were getting before the work started.

β€œI had, what I consider, to be a decent mold problem in my basement. I was unsure of who I should call, so I decided to read the reviews posted by other people that used CCS Property Services to see if they would be a good fit.”

β€œCCS Property Services has been hands down the best company we’ve ever worked with in relation to our house, and certainly the most important. We called when we had a pipe leak in our home, noticing that we had a soggy wall.”

β€œMy husband and I noticed mold on a couple of different spots on a baseboard and outlet plugs that were below some windows. We remembered having a great experience from a few years back with Mike Wotruba at CCS about an issue we had going on in our basement, so we gave him a call right away.”

β€œWe recently had our roof done and I wanted a second pair of eyes to ensure no mold was present due to having leaks for some time. Mike Wotruba showed up thankfully after roofing rescheduled twice and he was so accommodating. Super helpful with questions and went above and beyond for me.”

β€œResponsive, prompt, clean, and very professional! We experienced some water damage that lead to a small amount of mold when removing our flooring. I called CCS and Jamie was here the next morning and took care of our issue immediately.”

Mold remediation questions, answered

Does CCS Property Services do mold remediation in Shawano?

Yes. This project was in Shawano, WI 54166, and our crews work throughout Shawano and the surrounding area. Our Green Bay office is about 34 miles away. This is one of 2 mold remediation projects we've published from Shawano. Assessments are free.

How fast can someone come out to Shawano?

We schedule assessments as quickly as we can, with priority for active leaks and deadlines like a home sale closing. Request a call back above or call (920) 435-2288.

Is the mold assessment free?

Yes. We inspect the area, look for the moisture source and explain what we find. You only pay if you choose to move forward with remediation.

What's the difference between mold removal and mold remediation?

Removal means cleaning off visible mold. Remediation is the full process: containment, removing damaged materials, cleaning, treating and fixing the moisture that caused it. Removal alone often leads to the mold coming back.

How much does mold remediation cost?

It depends on the size of the area, what's growing on (drywall, wood framing, insulation) and access. A small bathroom or window area costs far less than a full basement or attic. You get a written price after the free assessment.

Does insurance cover mold remediation?

Often it does when the mold comes from a sudden covered event, like a burst pipe or appliance leak. Mold from long-term humidity or slow leaks usually isn't covered. We'll tell you which it looks like and work with your adjuster if you file a claim.

Can I stay in my home during mold remediation?

Usually, yes. We seal off the work area and run HEPA filtration so spores don't spread. If a space needs to be off-limits, we'll tell you before we start.

Will the mold come back?

Not if the moisture is fixed. Every job starts by finding the source, whether it's a leak, poor ventilation or high humidity, and that fix is part of the plan.

Is black mold dangerous?

Any mold growing indoors should be taken seriously, especially for people with allergies, asthma or weakened immune systems. The color doesn't tell you how harmful it is. Large areas (more than about 10 square feet) should be handled by professionals, per EPA guidance.
