Store-bought cleaners won't solve a mold problem. Professional mold cleaning treats what's on the surface and what's hiding behind it.
“Courtney was phenomenal! She was thorough and thoughtful. Our experience with Pure Maintenance was the best we have ever had with a home maintenance business. We will continue to use and recommend their services for mold inspection and remediation!”
“The team at Pure Maintenance goes above and beyond throughout the process. Their communication, follow-up, and service are exceptional. Courtney and Robin and extremely thorough in their diagnosis and service. I love that they provide detailed corrective measure recommendations to help protect homes from future moisture intrusions and provide peace of mind.”
“Had a vapor mold treatment. Courtney and Robin were awesome! Very thorough, great communication. The house feels great!”
“Courtney and team saved the day for my family. They were courteous and very informative with all of the processes of our remediation. I highly recommend this team if you need help.”
“While getting the house ready to sell, we came across several spots of mold in the basement. I called two other remediation companies, but they were either too busy or didn’t return my call. I contacted Pure Maintenance and they were out within 2 days. They thoroughly assessed the entire house, looking for all possible sources, not just the basement. The whole-house vapor treatment was also thorough, resulting in a cleaner, fresher, healthier-smelling house. Their process and follow-up testing, along with their warranty, gives me peace of mind while we go through the selling process. Courtney and Robin were also great to work with. They communicated with me regularly, answering all my questions in a timely manner. I appreciated their experience and expertise as they helped me to navigate this very stressful process.”
“From the first visit, they were kind, patient, and genuinely cared about helping us. They took the time to explain what was happening, what needed to be done, and never made us feel pressured or confused. The crew showed up on time, treated our home with respect, and worked incredibly hard to make sure everything was done right. What stood out most was how much they cared about our family’s health and peace of mind. After the work was completed, we could immediately notice the difference in the air quality and overall smell of the house. It felt like we could finally relax again. We’re truly grateful for their professionalism, honesty, and compassion during a stressful situation. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone dealing with mold problems.”
“Courtney has been great answering questions during the process of remediation. We feel they did a thorough job and are very knowledgeable.”
“This company is very fast at getting an estimate and moving forward. All of there staff are very friendly and answer all the questions I had. Thanks for all of your help!”
You've tried everything the hardware store sells: bleach, vinegar, that spray in the red bottle. It looks clean for a few days, then the mold is right back where it started. Store-bought products can only touch the surface, and what you see is a fraction of what's actually in your walls, your grout, and the air you breathe. We can handle the rest in a single day, without tearing your house apart.
If you've cleaned mold yourself and it came back, that's the first sign to stop scrubbing and call someone in. When mold returns to the same spot, either the roots were never killed or there's a moisture source still feeding it. You also want a professional if the patch is bigger than a couple of square feet, if it's growing on drywall, wood, or ceiling tile, or if you can smell it somewhere in the house but can't find where it's coming from.
Madison makes it harder. Summers run hot and sticky, and sitting on the isthmus between Mendota and Monona, the humidity never really drops even with the AC running. Winter brings a different problem. Ice dams back meltwater up under your shingles and into attic insulation. The spring thaw does the rest, soaking foundation walls from the outside while warm indoor air drops condensation on cold rim joists from the inside. A lot of the mold we find is in finished basements behind the drywall, or in closets on north-facing exterior walls where the air barely moves. Every round of clean-it-and-hope gives it more time to dig in.
We start with an inspection. The point is to find every spot where mold is growing and figure out what's keeping it wet, because treating mold without fixing the moisture is a waste of your money and our time.
Then we bring in Pure Maintenance's vapor system. It's a vapor that fills the house, so the sterilant gets into wall cavities, through HVAC ducts, under floors, and into the corners you'd never reach with a cloth. A second pass leaves behind an antimicrobial coating that bonds to surfaces and makes it much harder for mold to come back.
The active ingredient is on the EPA's Safer Chemical Ingredients List, so your family and pets can usually come back the same day. Most homes are done in under 12 hours, with no demolition on the vast majority of jobs.
Price depends on the size of your home and how far the mold has traveled past what you can see. Worth adding up honestly before you decide: the cleaning products you've already bought, the hours you've spent scrubbing, and what the problem will cost once it spreads into subfloor or ductwork. A single vapor treatment visit usually costs less than another year of that cycle. You'll get a written estimate before we start anything, and the number on that quote is the number you pay. We don't come back halfway through with surprise line items once we're into the walls.
You already know DIY cleaning doesn't hold, which is why you're reading this. Our vapor system treats the whole house in a single visit, including the places you can't reach on a ladder. Every job gets verified by independent post-treatment lab testing, and the guarantee is simple: indoor mold levels come in lower than the outside air, or we come back and re-treat at no charge. Pure Maintenance Wisconsin is local. We cover Madison, Middleton, Fitchburg, Sun Prairie, Verona, and the rest of Dane County, and we know what a Wisconsin basement actually deals with. Same-day inspections when the calendar allows.
Stop scrubbing and let us come take a look. One visit is usually enough to know exactly what you're dealing with, and you'll walk away with a clear plan and a flat quote. Call 608-555-0199 to book your inspection.
