Mold Removal in Sparks, NV

Sparks was built by the Southern Pacific in 1904 as a rail yard town, and the oldest homes near Victorian Square still date to that era: small wood-frame houses on crawl spaces, many of them rentals now. The postwar blocks east of downtown are 1950s and 60s ranch homes. Beyond that, the 1970s and 80s subdivisions climb toward Wingfield Springs and Spanish Springs, and the industrial district fills the flat ground along the river.

That flat ground is the problem in a flood year. The Truckee put the Sparks industrial area under water in January 1997, and the January 2017 storms did it again along parts of the river and the drainage channels. Homes on the low east side that took water, and the older houses over crawl spaces near downtown, are where the calls come from.

When a Sparks homeowner calls this site, the call goes to an independent mold provider who serves the city. The provider handles the visit, the plan, and the work. The site is the connection.

Sparks mold removal, from swamp coolers to crawl spaces

Sparks has a lot of roof-mounted evaporative coolers, and a cooler that dripped all summer is the usual reason for HVAC mold cleaning when the furnace comes on in October. The older houses near downtown send crawl space mold remediation calls when a plumbing leak has run under the floor. Once anything is opened and dried, mold damage repair closes it back up.

Where to call in Sparks

Rebuild permits go through the City of Sparks, and its Building Permits office on Prater Way handles the paperwork and inspections. For the history of the rail yard and the houses around it, the Sparks Heritage Museum on Victorian Avenue keeps the record, which is useful when you are trying to work out how old the plumbing in your walls is.
