Olde Town is the original townsite platted in 1870 along the railroad and Ralston Creek, a grid of brick storefronts on Grandview and Olde Wadsworth with the water tower, the flour mill, and the 1900s to 1940s houses that surround them. The G Line station at the south edge brought a wave of renovations after 2019, and many of those projects finished basements that had been root cellars for a century.
Those cellars have brick, stone, or early block walls, low ceilings, and dirt or thin slab floors, a few hundred feet from Ralston Creek. They were built to be damp. Drywall, carpet, and a bathroom put over them turn a cellar that used to breathe into a wall cavity that stays wet.
Homeowners in Olde Town Arvada 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 behind new drywall on a 1905 stone wall is mold removal, and the crew works around the stone rather than cutting into it. A basement bath added without a fan is bathroom mold removal. A cellar smell that reaches the main floor is mold odor removal.
The Olde Town Arvada Business Improvement District runs the festivals, the merchant directory, and the holiday lights from an office on Grandview Avenue, and its map of the district is the easiest way to see which blocks are century-old buildings with cellars underneath.

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.
