Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Shacklett-area neighbors
Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
After a pipe leak we had mold in the crawl space. They sealed the area, removed the mold, and left everything spotless.
Our process
Our black mold removal process in Shacklett, TN
Assess
We look at color, texture, and location, and take moisture readings before assuming anything about species.
Sample
If you want species confirmation, we coordinate a swab or air sample sent to an independent lab.
Contain
Full sheeting and negative air pressure isolate the work zone so spores don't travel to bedrooms or living areas.
Remove
Affected material is bagged and removed under HEPA filtration, with technicians in full PPE the entire time.
Confirm
We recheck moisture and surfaces before opening the containment, so you're not left wondering if it's really gone.

Good to know
Black Mold Removal in Shacklett, TN: common questions
Is all black mold toxic?
No. Color alone doesn't tell you the species, and several common household molds appear dark or black without being the toxin-producing type people worry about. Regardless of species, mold growth should still be removed and the moisture source fixed.
Can black mold make my family sick?
Some people are more sensitive to mold exposure than others and may notice allergy-like symptoms, coughing, or irritation. If anyone in your household has respiratory issues, mention it when you call so we can adjust containment.
Will you find every spot of black mold in my house?
We inspect the areas you're concerned about plus common trouble spots like sink cabinets, window frames, and basement corners. If we suspect hidden growth behind a wall, we'll walk you through the options before opening anything up.
Do I need to leave my Shacklett home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Shacklett home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do I need to test before removal?
Testing is optional for most homeowners. Visible mold on a porous surface gets removed either way. Testing is more useful for documentation, real estate transactions, or when someone in the home has ongoing health concerns.
How fast does black mold spread?
Given a steady moisture source, colonies can expand within days to weeks. That's why we focus on both removing what's there and identifying why it started growing in the first place.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after black mold removal?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Shacklett home.
Do you serve Shacklett?
Yes. We cover all of Shacklett, including Kingston Springs, Bell Town, Craggie Hope, and the rest of the Shacklett area. We are based in Pegram, about 5 minutes from our Pegram base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
