Arlington's pre-war bungalows, brick garden apartments, and high-rise condos each get mold for different reasons. MoldGone traces the moisture, contains and removes the contamination, and rebuilds the affected space, with one licensed team from start to finish.
Whether it's a finished basement in Lyon Park or a bathroom wall in a Ballston condo, mold usually points to a moisture problem that has to be fixed too. MoldGone has been working across Northern Virginia since 2006. We remediate the mold, correct what caused it, and handle any demolition and reconstruction ourselves.
MoldGone is licensed, bonded, and insured in Virginia, Maryland, and D.C. That coverage protects you, and your building, throughout the project.
We've completed thousands of projects across Northern Virginia and the greater DMV. Clients consistently mention our thoroughness and how clearly we communicate.
Every technician holds IICRC certifications and has hands-on construction experience, which matters when remediation means opening walls in a 1930s colonial or working inside a condo with shared building systems.
MoldGone holds an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, an Angi Super Service Award, and five-star reviews across Google, Yelp, and Angi.
We explain the scope, the process, and the price before any work begins, and we keep you updated along the way. If you live in a condo, we can help you communicate with your building management too.
Carpentry, drywall, painting, flooring, electrical, and plumbing are all handled by our team. When the mold is gone, we finish the job.
Arlington packs a lot of different housing into 26 square miles, and each type has its own weak points. Many single-family neighborhoods, including Lyon Park, Ashton Heights, Cherrydale, Westover, and Arlington Ridge, were built from the 1920s through the 1950s. Those homes often have basements finished decades after construction, older foundation waterproofing, and additions built over crawl spaces. Arlington is also home to some of the country's earliest garden apartment communities, where aging plumbing and shared walls make leaks hard to trace.
Along the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor and in National Landing, high-rise condos bring a different set of problems: leaks from the unit above, HVAC condensate lines, and window seals. In a condo, figuring out where the water came from also decides who's responsible for the repair.
Weather adds to all of it. Arlington's streams, including Four Mile Run, Lubber Run, and Spout Run, drain steep terrain, and intense summer storms can overwhelm local drainage quickly. The July 2019 flash flood put water in basements across the county. Northern Virginia's humid summers then keep any wet material damp long enough for mold to take hold.
Mold follows moisture: a slow leak behind a vanity, a basement that took on water in a storm, a condo ceiling below a neighbor's bathroom. Remediation is the process of returning mold to normal background levels, what the industry calls "normal fungal ecology." It means finding out why mold is growing, stopping it from spreading while work is underway, removing what's contaminated, and leaving the space safe to breathe in.
For Arlington homeowners and condo owners, that starts with pinning down the source. We trace the moisture, fix what's causing it, and then remove and rebuild what the water damaged.

After an in-person consultation, our team drafts a customized remediation protocol that details the treatment methods, materials, and pricing before work begins.
We document the damage and work with your insurance adjuster to keep your claim moving. In condos, we can provide the documentation your association or property manager needs.
The work area is sealed and placed under HEPA air filtration so spores and particles don't travel to the rest of your home or, in multi-unit buildings, to shared hallways and neighboring units.
Contaminated drywall, insulation, and carpet are removed and remaining surfaces are treated with antimicrobials. We also address what's feeding the mold, from basement seepage and crawl space humidity to plumbing leaks and condensate lines.
Once the area is clear, we rebuild it to pre-damage condition: drywall, trim, painting, tile, and flooring, finished to match the rest of your home.
We serve homes, condos, and apartments across Arlington. Don't see your neighborhood? We also serve Alexandria, Falls Church, and Fairfax County.
Answers for Arlington homeowners, condo owners, and property managers.
Mold exposure commonly causes allergy symptoms such as sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, and skin irritation, and it can trigger asthma attacks. Infants, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems or chronic lung conditions tend to be more sensitive. If you're noticing symptoms, check with your doctor and have your home evaluated.
It depends on where the water came from and what your association's governing documents say. A leak from a common pipe or the unit above may fall under the association or a neighbor's policy, while problems inside your unit are usually yours. We document the moisture source and the damage, which helps you, your association, and your insurer sort out responsibility.
Small patches on hard surfaces like tile can usually be cleaned. But visible mold is often only part of the problem, and cleaning it without addressing the moisture means it comes back. A professional assessment shows you the full scope.
If you know you have mold, we can usually schedule a consultation within 1 to 2 business days and begin remediation within 3 business days of that visit. The total time depends on the amount of material that needs to be removed and rebuilt, and you'll get a clear timeline up front.
No. Some situations can be handled with surface cleaning and treatment. Others need affected sections removed and rebuilt. We handle both, so our recommendation is based on what your home actually needs.
Photos help us understand what you're seeing, but mold can be inside walls and in the air where a photo can't show it. We need an in-person inspection to give you an accurate evaluation and price.
If mold isn't visible during our inspection, we may collect samples and recommend independent third-party lab analysis. It adds cost and typically takes 3 to 5 business days, so when mold is clearly visible, it's often not needed. We'll recommend the right approach for your situation.
Our reputation is built on results. Here's what our clients have to say about their experience with MoldGone.
