Mold Removal in Downtown, NV

Downtown Carson City is Carson Street from the Capitol north to about William Street, plus the blocks either side of it. The Capitol went up in 1870 and 1871, the brick commercial buildings around it date from the 1870s through the 1930s, and for most of the last century U.S. 395 ran straight down Carson Street through the middle of it. That ended when the last leg of the Interstate 580 freeway opened in August 2017 and the city narrowed Carson Street, widened the sidewalks, and turned the strip back into a downtown.

The buildings that make up downtown are the mold problem. Two-story brick with apartments or offices above a storefront, flat or low-slope roofs behind parapets, and basements cut into the ground under the sidewalk. A parapet cap that leaks puts water down inside a brick wall for a whole winter before it shows up as a stain on the ceiling below, and a basement that took water when the street was rebuilt can stay damp for years.

This site connects downtown property owners with an independent local mold provider. You call, describe what you see or smell, and the provider decides what to bring.

Downtown mold, above the storefront and below the sidewalk

A stained ceiling in a second-floor apartment under a flat roof is mold removal in the ceiling and a roofing repair on top of it. A damp basement under a storefront is crawl space mold remediation done in a room you can stand up in. A musty smell in a commercial space that nobody can locate is mold odor removal, and the crew usually finds it in a wall on the alley side.

Where to call downtown

The Brewery Arts Center at King and Division Streets has occupied two historic buildings on the west edge of downtown since 1975, and the brewery building it grew from is one of the oldest commercial structures still in use in the city. Permits for downtown buildings go through the Carson City Building Division a few blocks away.
