Candelas is the master-planned community in Arvada's far northwest corner, north of Highway 72 between Highway 93 and Indiana Street, with a master plan filed in April 2011 and houses going up from 2013 onward from Century, Richmond, Ryland, Standard Pacific, Village, and a handful of custom builders. Its entire northern property line is the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge, the former nuclear weapons plant site that closed in 1992 and opened as a refuge in 2018.
The houses are new, large, and built on engineered foundations with deep basements, most of them finished by the builder with bedrooms and egress wells. New houses still sit on the same bentonite clay as the rest of the metro, and the first five years are when backfill settles, wells tilt, and downspout extensions get kicked off.
Homeowners in Candelas reach an independent local mold provider through this site's phone line. The provider reads the walls with a meter and tells you what the house needs; our part is the phone call.
An egress well that filled in a June storm and soaked a basement bedroom is mold removal. A sump pump that quit under 3,500 square feet of finished space is whole-home mold remediation. A roof that took hail in its third summer and streaked the sheathing is attic mold remediation.
The Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge covers more than five thousand acres of tallgrass prairie and foothills directly north of the neighborhood, with trails that opened to the public in 2018 after a cleanup finished in 2005.
Call (720) 823-6943 and tell us what you see. We put you through to a local mold provider serving Candelas.
Growth on a finished basement wall, behind a laundry room, or under a window well leak: room sealed, wet board cut to the meter line, framing HEPA-cleaned and dried.
A dark patch on basement drywall or a bathroom ceiling handled by how far the water traveled, not its color: containment, porous material out, source fixed first.
A sump pump that quit during the melt or a supply line that ran for weeks, mapped floor by floor and cleared in zones as one project.
Furnace cabinet, coil, humidifier pad, and return ducts cleaned when a basement air handler or a swamp cooler has been pushing damp air through the house.
Growth behind a vanity, under a shower pan, or on a ceiling with no fan, removed once the drain, supply line, or venting problem is fixed.
Dark streaks on roof sheathing after hail, an ice dam, or a bath fan venting into the attic, cleaned and treated once the roof and the venting are corrected.
A musty basement in a house that looks fine, traced to wet carpet pad, a damp wall cavity, or a crawl space, then removed and treated at the source.
Drywall, insulation, baseboard, and carpet pad put back after removal, once the wall reads dry and the crack or leak that started it is repaired.
