We are leaders in mold and water damage restoration services in Aitkin County.

Our local team in Aitkin, Carlton, and West St. Louis Counties are trained and certified to restore mold damage in Hill City. Often, mold is a symptom of a water leak somewhere in the structure. The Environmental Protection Agency offers these tips for determining if you have a water leak:

To check for leaks in your home, you first need to determine whether you're wasting water and then identify the source of the leak. Here are some tips for finding leaks:

• Take a look at your water usage during a colder month, such as January or February. If a family of four exceeds 12,000 gallons per month, there are serious leaks.
• Check your water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If the meter changes at all, you probably have a leak.
• Identify toilet leaks by placing a drop of food coloring in the toilet tank. If any color shows up in the bowl after 10 minutes, you have a leak. (Be sure to flush immediately after the experiment to avoid staining the tank.)
