Far Horizons is the early-1960s neighborhood in north Arvada east of Wadsworth, next door to Lake Arbor, with about 680 modest red-brick ranches and bi-levels on curved, flat lots and no homeowners association. Far Horizons Park and Wolff Run Park sit inside it, and the Westminster line is a few blocks north.
A 1964 brick ranch here has a full basement with a floor drain, a furnace room, and a hall bath upstairs with a window and no fan. Many were finished below grade in the 1980s with paneling and drop ceilings, which hide a damp block wall well. The bi-levels put the lower floor half below grade with the family room against the north wall, which is the last wall to dry out after the melt.
Homeowners in Far Horizons 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.
Growth on block behind paneling in a 1964 ranch is mold removal. A bi-level lower floor that smells on humid evenings is mold odor removal. A dark patch beside the water heater in the furnace room is black mold removal.
Without an association, grading, downspout extensions, and window-well covers in Far Horizons are each owner's call, and the difference between a dry basement and a wet one on the same block is often a four-dollar splash block that one neighbor has and the other does not.
Call (720) 823-6943 and tell us what you see. We put you through to a local mold provider serving Far Horizons.
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.
