Lemmon Valley is the North Valleys community around Swan Lake, north of Reno off US 395. The homes are a mix of manufactured houses on individual lots and site-built ranch homes from the 1970s and 80s, many on wells and septic, on flat ground that drains toward the lake. Swan Lake is a closed basin. Water that comes in does not leave except by evaporation.
That is what made 2017 so bad. The winter storms filled the lake past anything on record, and by February it was in the streets and under houses along Lemmon Drive. Washoe County built a four-mile temporary barrier around the low ground in March 2017, and the water stayed high into the following year. Some of those homes were wet for months, and mold in the floor framing and walls followed.
When a Lemmon Valley homeowner calls this site, the call goes to an independent mold provider who serves the North Valleys. The provider handles the visit, the plan, and the work. The site is the connection.
Floor insulation, belly wrap, and joists that sat over standing water are what crawl space mold remediation deals with under both manufactured and site-built homes. Walls that wicked water up from a wet floor are handled by mold removal under containment. When a house took water on every ground-floor surface, whole-home mold remediation is the job.
Washoe County still posts the lake level. Its Swan and Silver Lake water monitoring page shows the current elevation, which is worth checking in a wet spring if your lot is on the low side. Lemmon Valley is unincorporated, so rebuild permits go through the county.

Containment, negative air, HEPA cleaning, and removal of wet drywall, trim, and insulation after a leak in a Reno home, with the source fixed.
Dark growth handled under full containment. Color does not name the species, and the process is the same: find the water, remove what is porous.
Room-by-room containment and removal after a burst pipe, a long roof leak, or a house that sat closed with a leak running all winter.
Joists, subfloor, and insulation under older Reno homes cleaned and dried, with the plumbing leak or ground moisture that fed it addressed.
Mold behind vanities, in ceilings, and inside walls from a fan that vents nowhere or a slow leak, the most common first call in tract homes.
Furnace cabinet, coil, swamp cooler, and duct cleaning when the musty smell shows up every time the system runs.
Finding and removing the damp source behind a musty smell that survived cleaning, then treating surfaces and air so it stays gone.
Drywall, baseboard, insulation, and subfloor put back after removal, once the framing reads dry and the leak is fixed.
