Boulder City was laid out in 1931 by the Bureau of Reclamation as the model town for the crews building Hoover Dam, with the managers' houses on the high ground and the workers' cottages below. It sits at about 2,510 feet, higher and a few degrees cooler than Henderson, and it still limits new construction to 120 residential permits a year, so the housing is a mix of 1930s and 1940s government-era cottages, 1960s and 1970s ranches, and a thin layer of newer subdivisions on the edges.
The old cottages have the problems old houses have anywhere: galvanized supply lines that pinhole inside the wall, a rooftop swamp cooler on a curb that has been patched for decades, and additions that put a bathroom against an exterior wall with no fan. The newer houses share Henderson's pattern of a garage water heater and an attic air handler.
Homeowners in Boulder City reach an independent local mold provider through this site's phone line. That provider meters the house and tells you what it needs. We only set up the call.
Growth behind the plaster in a government-era cottage after a galvanized line let go is mold removal, and the crew works around lath rather than drywall. A swamp cooler that dripped down the duct chase all summer is attic mold remediation. A musty smell in a house that looks fine is mold odor removal, and in Boulder City that usually starts under the floor of an old bathroom.
Any rebuild that touches plumbing or electrical here goes through the city's Development Services permit desk, which is a smaller office than Henderson's and worth calling before the crew shows up. The town exists because of Hoover Dam, dedicated in 1935 seven miles down the highway, and it remains one of two places in Nevada with no casinos.
Call (702) 602-8512 and tell us what you see. We put you through to a local mold provider serving Boulder City.
Growth on drywall behind a water heater, a fridge line, or a slab leak: room sealed, wet board cut to the meter line, framing HEPA-cleaned and dried.
A dark patch handled by how far the water traveled, not its color: containment, porous material out, hard surfaces cleaned, leak fixed before closing.
A slab leak or a supply line that ran for weeks while the house sat empty, mapped room by room and cleared in zones as one project.
Coil, drain pan, and condensate line cleaned or replaced when the air handler in the garage or attic sweats through a 110-degree summer.
Growth behind a vanity, under a shower pan, or on a ceiling with no fan, removed with the supply line or drain leak fixed first.
Growth on roof sheathing under slipped tile or around a sweating duct, cleaned and treated once the underlayment or the insulation is fixed.
A musty smell in a house that looks fine, traced to the wet material under the laminate or behind the cabinet, then removed and treated.
Drywall, texture, baseboard, and cabinet bottoms put back after removal, once the slab reads dry and the leak that started it is repaired.
