Mold Removal in Dayton, NV

Dayton argues with Genoa over which is Nevada's oldest town, and it has a case: placer miners were working the mouth of Gold Canyon here around 1850. The town took its name from surveyor John Day in 1861, burned in 1866 and 1870, and stayed small until the 1990s, when subdivisions spread across Dayton Valley on the east side of the Carson River. It went from 826 people in 1970 to more than 15,000 in 2020, up 69 percent in the last decade alone.

So the housing is two towns. Old Town Dayton along Main Street and Pike Street has brick and wood buildings from the 1860s through the 1920s on stone foundations, at about 4,400 feet on the river. Dayton Valley has stick-built homes from the 1990s and 2000s, many on slabs, on flat ground the river has flooded in January 1997, at New Year's 2006, and in February 2017.

Dayton mold, old town and new

In Old Town the call is usually a damp cellar or crawl space under a stone foundation, which is crawl space mold remediation. In Dayton Valley it is more often a house that took river water once and was dried from the top, leaving growth at the bottom of the walls; that is mold removal and, when it runs through several rooms, whole-home mold remediation.

Where to call in Dayton

The river's history is on display at Dayton State Park, where the ruins of the 1861 Rock Point Mill sit on the Carson River at the foot of the Virginia Range, a short walk from the neighborhoods that flood. The Historical Society of Dayton Valley keeps the record of the fires, the floods, and the buildings that survived both.

Water and sewer come from Lyon County Utilities, and rebuild permits go through the Lyon County building department in Yerington.
