Why Wendell Water Damage Restoration Is Inglewood’s Preferred Mold Remediation Company
Inglewood homeowners have a specific set of problems that newer suburbs don’t deal with. Most of the housing stock here was built between the 1920s and the 1960s, which means plaster-and-lath walls, original wood framing, and crawl spaces that trap humidity. We know those houses because we work on them every week. Our Mold Remediation team arrives in uniform with a live arrival time you can track on your phone, not a four-hour window. Before anything starts, you get a written price. That’s the Wendell way, and it’s been that way since 2006, part of the Relay Home Co. family.
Blake Sorensen leads our crews, and he holds every job to The Relay Visibility Guarantee: you know who’s coming, when they’ll be there, and exactly what it costs before a single tool comes off the truck. For Inglewood customers, that matters because mold doesn’t wait, and neither should you.
Mold Remediation Services in Inglewood
Mold Remediation Services in Inglewood start with finding the moisture source, not just killing what’s visible. In a 1940s bungalow near Rogers Park, that usually means checking the crawl space, the wall cavities, and the roofline before we touch the mold itself. We run moisture mapping, set up containment, remove affected materials, dry the structure with professional equipment, and run HEPA air scrubbers until the air tests clean. A typical single-room remediation in Inglewood runs $1,800 to $3,400. A whole crawl space with structural drying can push $6,500 or more depending on access and framing condition.
Containment and Air Scrubbing
We seal off the affected area with negative air pressure so spores don’t travel through your Inglewood home while we work. HEPA air scrubbers run continuously during removal and for at least 24 hours after. You get before-and-after photos by text, so you see what we did, not just a bill.
Post-Remediation Verification
After we finish, we document moisture readings and air quality data. We don’t call it done until the numbers show the structure is dry and the air is clean. That documentation goes to you and your insurance adjuster if a claim is involved. It’s part of the written scope you agree to before work starts.

Professional Mold Removal in Inglewood
Professional Mold Removal in Inglewood often means working around original details that homeowners want to keep. In a 1928 bungalow off Manchester Boulevard, that can mean removing only the lower three feet of plaster, drying the lath behind it, and saving the original crown molding above. We don’t gut rooms by default. We remove what’s unsalvageable, dry what can be saved, and treat what remains with an antimicrobial that’s appropriate for the surface. You get a written guarantee on every job, and if the mold returns within 365 days, we come back and make it right. That’s our 365-Day Done Right Promise, in writing, every time.
Black Mold and Stachybotrys
Black mold in an Inglewood crawl space is common because marine-layer humidity sits low and wood stays damp. We don’t scare you with the name. We test, we show you the lab results, and we explain what they mean in plain language. Then we remove it under containment and fix the moisture problem so it doesn’t come back.
Crawl Space and Subfloor Work
Many Inglewood homes sit on raised foundations with crawl spaces that got wet years ago and never fully dried. We treat the framing, install or improve ventilation, and set hydrostats where needed. A crawl space job in Inglewood typically runs $2,200 to $5,500 depending on square footage and access.
Trusted Brands We Service in Inglewood
When mold has gotten into framing or wall cavities, we bring in the same drying equipment used on large commercial loss sites. XPOWER air movers push air through tight Inglewood crawl spaces and wall cavities. Phoenix dehumidifiers pull moisture out of the structure so mold can’t return. Injectidry mats pull water from plaster-and-lath without tearing out every wall. We stock replacement filters and parts locally, so we’re not waiting on a distribution center when your Inglewood property needs us now.
Common Mold Remediation Problems We See in Inglewood Homes
- Surface treatment that ignores the lath behind it. In older Inglewood homes, mold grows on the lath and framing behind the plaster face. Killing the surface stain doesn’t fix the cavity moisture, and the mold returns within weeks.
- Water that’s moved through plaster into adjacent rooms. A supply-line leak in a kitchen near 92nd Street can travel through the wall cavity and soak the dining room wall and the crawl space. Skipping moisture mapping means you only remediate what you can see, and the hidden mold keeps spreading.
- Containment that starts too late. If pack-out and demolition start before containment is up, mold spores cross-contaminate couches, rugs, and closets. Then the remediation scope doubles and so does the bill. We set containment first, every time.
- Crawl space humidity that never gets addressed. Inglewood’s marine layer keeps crawl spaces damp for months. If you remediate the mold but don’t lower the relative humidity, the problem comes back. We measure and log humidity during the job and recommend a ventilation or hydrostat fix when it’s needed.

FAQs About Mold Remediation in Inglewood
We can usually have a technician on site in Inglewood within 60 to 90 minutes of your call. Mold in Inglewood’s climate can begin growing on wet drywall within 24 to 48 hours, so we schedule mold calls the same day whenever possible. Call (940) 466-4354 and a live person will tell you when we’ll be there.
Sometimes, yes. In pre-1960s Inglewood homes, mold grows on the wood lath behind the plaster face, and drying that cavity usually requires removing the affected section of plaster. We cut only what’s necessary, show you why with moisture readings and photos, and save the surrounding plaster and trim whenever possible.
We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to check what’s actually wet inside the wall. Plaster that’s structurally sound and not deeply contaminated can often be dried in place with Injectidry mats. Moldy baseboards, soaked drywall, and rotted framing come out. The written scope you approve before work shows exactly which is which.
Yes. We document everything: moisture logs, photo evidence, materials removed, and lab results if testing was done. We coordinate directly with your adjuster so the scope of work is covered correctly. Inglewood homeowners often tell us their adjuster approved the work faster because our drying logs showed exactly where the water went and how long we dried it.
It usually means containment and air scrubbing first, then removing affected plaster and baseboards, drying the wall cavities and crawl space with Phoenix dehumidifiers and XPOWER air movers, treating remaining surfaces with antimicrobial, and verifying with moisture readings. Most Inglewood bungalow jobs take 3 to 5 days. You get photo updates by text the whole time, and the price is locked before we start.

We’ll send a background-checked technician with a live arrival time, give you a written price before any work starts, and keep you updated with photos by text.
