FAQ

What if we already have mold in the basement?

If mold is already present, NK Construction & Design can address it as part of the basement waterproofing or remodeling scope. The first step is to understand the source of the moisture, because treating visible mold without correcting the underlying water or humidity problem can allow it to return.

Depending on the conditions, the work can include removal of affected materials, mold remediation, HEPA containment and filtration, cleaning of the affected area, and correcting the moisture conditions before new walls, insulation, or finishes are installed.

The exact remediation approach depends on the extent of the affected area, the materials involved, and the source of the moisture. NK evaluates those conditions as part of planning the waterproofing or remodeling work so the problem is addressed before the basement is closed back up.
