You suspect mold but can't see it. Our detection process uses professional equipment and trained expertise to find what's hidden.
“Courtney was very thorough in her inspection of our house when we hired Pure Maintenance for our mold removal and remediation. They went above and beyond to make sure that every single area I had concerns about was addressed as well as offering tips for afterwards to finish sealing up the house and detoxing from mold ourselves. Would definitely recommend!”
“Courtney at Pure Maintenance is absolutely amazing. She is caring, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in achieving the best outcome for her clients. I had a very negative experience with Indoor Environmental Testing, as they were unwilling to speak with me by phone about the results and were quite rude. Then I connected with Courtney, and the difference was remarkable. She took the time to thoroughly discuss the testing outcomes, explained treatment options clearly, and showed real concern for helping me move forward. When you are having a mold issue, you need kindness, patience and the understanding of a partner who wants the best for your family. I would 100% recommend Courtney to this. Also, the vapor she used was helpful - my brain fog almost immediately lifted, which I didn't even think was attributed to the mold in the home! Definitely use Pure Maintenance for your needs - highly recommend them.”
“I cannot stress enough how wonderful Courtney and her team are. She is data driven-- your quote will be based on mold being tested for rather than eye balling where they think mold could be. Additionally, they do all of this without being condensing in any way, encouraging questioning the process/ how things work. For results-- my partner and I had recurring sinus infections that have gone away once treatment was completed. We've also both had less headaches.”
“I highly recommend Pure Maintenance Wisconsin! They made a very stressful situation of discovering black mold in our home, causing severe mycotoxin illness, a seamless and stress free process. Courtney is amazing! She and her team are excellent at communicating, and are very detailed in explaining the process. Courtney is the 1st person to be certified in Wisconsin with this specific type of mold remediation! It’s cutting edge. They removed literally every spore from our space. Unfortunately, as a population, we are not educated about mold and its dangers - that it can cause cancer, for example. Most mold remediation is inadequate & does not actually remove the dangerous spores from your space. Courtney is an expert and can be 100% trusted. My doctor’s office even uses her company. Thank you, Courtney!”
“Courtney and the team were so helpful! After a renovation of our basement we thought all the mold was gone. Courtney came in and investigated until she found spots we hadn't thought about. She kept working with us until we eradicated the mold entirely! The demo'd a few spots that were too saturated with mold, dried out anything that could be salvaged, and applied the vapor. Very effective process that was much less expensive than redoing our basement stairs and more walls! It's been so nice to have our house back!”
“Courtney was extremely knowledgeable about mycotoxin illness and the steps that needed to be taken to remediate my condo - including dealing with odd schedules and an inflexible HOA. For tasks outside of Pure Maintenance's specialty, she recommended other skilled local professionals who also did their jobs quickly and well. I highly recommend this company.”
“We needed a mold issue addressed and contacted Pure Maintenance Wisconsin. Courtney worked with us to identify the underlying issues before the treatment to avoid the problem reoccurring afterwards. Everything was taken care of in a timely manner and very professionally. I highly recommend using them for any mold remediation.”
“I was very impressed with Pure Maintenance Mold Removal. I have the HLA genotype that doesn’t form antibodies to the mycotoxin that mold spores produce, and therefore I get pretty sick from a mold exposure with CIRS symptoms. Our basement was flooded in August and after initial remediation from an emergency company, I was still experiencing symptoms. I had heard about Pure Maintenance from a health podcast and felt fairly convinced that they would make my home healthy again. Customer service was excellent and prompt, communication was clear. Courtney (the owner) came to my home and pointed out areas that still needed remediated. She was very detailed as she went through my home, searching for potential mold spores. She and her team came in and completely removed any potentially remaining mold, using negative air pressure to ensure the spores did not infiltrate the rest of my home. After they were confident they removed all of the mold spores, they treated my entire home with their dry fog which completely neutralizes the air. They tested the air after their work and levels were at zero. When I came back into my home after their work, the air was so fresh and clean. I no longer had symptoms from the mycotoxin exposure and feel healthy again. Courtney is extremely detail oriented and is an expert in mold remediation. She is honest, and collaborates with her clients on the best remediation approach. My only regret is that I didn’t hire Pure Maintenance right away after the flood to do the initial remediation. I highly recommend them!”
You know something's off in your house. Maybe it's a musty smell you can't trace, or a room that leaves you feeling stuffy every time you walk in, even though nothing looks wrong. Whatever triggered your search, we hear this every week from Madison homeowners, and we can usually pinpoint the source on a single visit. Call us, and we'll come out and find what's hiding.
The most common call we get starts with a musty smell that has no visible source. You've checked the obvious spots and moved furniture around, and it's still hanging around. Another common trigger is health symptoms that track with being home. Congestion or headaches or asthma that calms down when you leave for work and comes back a couple of hours after you get in the door. Condensation that keeps showing up on windows or cold water pipes is a quieter signal that moisture is collecting somewhere you can't see. And if you had an ice dam or a plumbing leak a few years back that everyone told you was sorted, there's a fair chance something grew inside a wall that never fully dried out. Madison's older housing stock and the full basements under most homes here make this especially common, and every spring thaw brings another round of calls.
Detection is detective work. The right tools only matter in the hands of someone who knows how to read them. Our NORMI trained inspectors start by walking the property with you, listening to what you've noticed and where you've noticed it. Odors travel from hidden pockets in predictable ways, and we know how to follow them back to the source. Then we bring in the equipment. Moisture meters and protimeters read through walls and ceilings so we can see where water is sitting behind a finished surface. Hygrometers measure humidity in enclosed spaces so we can find the pockets where mold is most likely to take hold. If something concealed looks likely, we can collect an air or surface sample and send it to an independent lab for confirmation. A typical visit runs one to three hours depending on the size of the property.
Detection pricing depends on the size of your home and how hard the problem is to track down. A smell localized to one room is a shorter visit than a whole house where symptoms are scattered and nobody knows where to start. You'll get a clear quote before we begin, and that quote is what you pay at the end. No hidden fees on the invoice. Skipping a proper detection tends to be the expensive choice in the long run, because you can end up paying for remediation in the wrong place and watching the same problem come back six months later.
We've assessed hundreds of homes across the Madison metro area, and we know how moisture behaves in Dane County houses. We know how basements take on water after a hard spring thaw, and we know what July and August humidity does to a home that already has a moisture problem. Local experience, NORMI training, and the right equipment together mean we find things other inspectors walk past. Same day appointments are usually available, and every visit is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. If we do confirm hidden mold, we can often treat it without tearing into walls, thanks to our vapor process.
Call Pure Maintenance Wisconsin at 608-555-0199 when you know something isn't right and you want it found today. We'll send a NORMI trained inspector out, usually same day, and we won't leave until we've figured out what's going on.
