Mold in a basement or crawl space almost always comes from moisture: a leak, high humidity, or water coming through the foundation. We remove the mold, treat the area, and fix the water problem behind it so it doesn’t come back.
Effective Basement Solutions has worked in New Jersey basements since 2011 — with our own crews, never subcontractors. Every job comes with a written Mold Remediation Certificate and a 12-month limited warranty on the treated areas. Call or text 1-800-957-0075 for a free estimate.
Not sure? We’ll look at it for free and tell you honestly what it needs.
Moldy drywall, carpet, and insulation are cut out and taken away. Surface cleaning can’t reach mold growing inside soaked materials, so we remove them.
Exposed wood framing, studs, and concrete are cleaned and treated, including whole-house framing before new drywall and insulation go in.
Mold comes back if water keeps getting in. We can fix the cause with an interior French drain, a sump pump, dehumidification, or crawl space encapsulation.
No subcontractors, ever. When you call, you talk with Franco, the owner — the same company that quotes your job installs it.
After the work you get a Mold Remediation Certificate for your records, with a 12-month limited warranty on the treated areas from the date we finish.

Mold needs moisture to grow. If the area is treated but water still comes through the walls or floor, or the space stays humid, mold returns. That’s why we treat the mold and the water problem together.
Both start with moisture, but they’re handled differently. We’ll tell you honestly what your space needs.
Usually on drywall, framing, and carpet near the floor after water comes in. We remove damaged materials, treat the area, and fix the leak.
Usually on floor joists and insulation from damp air and bare dirt. Treatment plus encapsulation keeps it dry.

Surface cleaning may lighten stains, but it doesn’t remove mold growing inside soaked drywall, carpet, or insulation. Those materials usually need to be removed.
Not if the moisture is fixed. That’s why we look for the water source on every job. The treated areas carry a 12-month limited warranty.
