Hackberry Hill is the north Arvada neighborhood around 72nd to 76th avenues between Wadsworth and Sheridan, named for a hackberry tree that stood as a landmark before the town existed, a story the Arvada Historical Society still tells. The houses, sold as Hackberry Hill Estates, are 1960s and early-1970s brick ranches, split-levels, and multi-levels on a gentle rise east of Wadsworth, with Hackberry Hill Elementary serving the streets around it.
The rise drains toward its lower streets, and the houses there collect what the upper streets shed. The ranches here are the classic Arvada basement: poured walls, a floor drain, steel window wells, and a 1980s finish of paneling or drywall over whatever the wall was doing. Low-slope roofs and short eaves make ice dams a February habit.
Homeowners in Hackberry Hill 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.
A finished basement wall on the downhill side wet after the melt is mold removal. Sheathing streaked by a February ice dam is attic mold remediation. A hall bath with a window and no fan that spots each winter is bathroom mold removal.
The Arvada Historical Society keeps the Marcetta Lutz Library and Archives for the town's records and photos, and it put the Hackberry Tree on a parade float as one of the three legends of Arvada, alongside Mrs. Benjamin's gold nugget and Big Chief Rain-in-the-Face.

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.
