Professional Mold Remediation in Andover, MA
Trusted Mold Remediation in Andover, MA
Musty smells, dark spots on a ceiling, or a basement that never quite dries out are signs that moisture has been sitting somewhere it shouldn’t. Skillville Corp. is a licensed general contractor serving Andover, Massachusetts, and the Merrimack Valley. We find where the moisture is coming from, remove the mold safely, and repair what it damaged, so you deal with one contractor from start to finish.
Mold remediation is the process of locating the moisture source, containing the affected area, removing mold and the materials it has damaged, cleaning the space, and rebuilding so the problem does not return. We handle every one of those steps for Andover homes.
If the problem started in a bathroom or an attic, we can handle the repair and the rebuild together.
Customized Mold Remediation Plans for Andover Homes
Every house in Andover has its own moisture story. A Colonial near Andover Center, an older home in Shawsheen Village, and a newer build in West Andover do not leak or hold humidity in the same places. Before any work starts, we look at how water is getting in, whether from a roof or flashing leak, plumbing, poor ventilation, or groundwater in the basement, and we build the plan around that source.
New England weather makes this more likely: freezing winters, ice dams, humid summers, and wet springs all put stress on roofs, walls, and foundations. Treating the mold without fixing the cause usually means it comes back, so we address both.
Our Mold Remediation Services in Andover
At Skillville Corp., our professional painting company and restoration services cover every step, including:
Inspection and moisture assessment
We check walls, ceilings, floors, basements, and attics to find visible mold and the hidden moisture behind it.
Containment and protection
Plastic barriers and floor protection keep spores from spreading to the rest of your home while work is underway.
Safe removal
We remove mold-damaged materials such as drywall, insulation, carpet, trim, and wood that cannot be saved, and dispose of them properly.
Cleaning and treatment
Surfaces that can be saved are cleaned and treated, and we apply a stain-blocking primer where appropriate.
Moisture source repair
We fix or coordinate repair of the leak, ventilation, or drainage issue that caused the growth.
Rebuilding and repair
As your general contractor, we replace framing, drywall, insulation, flooring, and trim so the space is finished, not just cleaned.
Finishing
Priming, painting, and caulking leave the area ready to use.
Odor control
We work to remove the musty smell from the affected area so you can use the space comfortably again.
Where We Handle Mold Problems
- Basements: Damp walls, foundation seepage, and stored items that have gone musty. If water is the root cause, see our basement waterproofing work.
- Attics: Poor ventilation, roof leaks, and condensation on sheathing and rafters.
- Bathrooms: Mold behind tile, around tubs and showers, and under flooring from slow leaks.
- Kitchens and laundry areas: Hidden supply line leaks and moisture under cabinets and appliances.
- Additions and older structures: Moisture can collect where an older house meets newer construction. If you are planning to rebuild or expand after remediation, our team also works as one of the home addition contractors serving Andover, MA.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on how large the affected area is, what materials need replacing, and whether framing or drywall must be rebuilt. We provide a free estimate with a clear scope before work starts, so you know what to expect.
Common signs include a persistent musty smell, dark or fuzzy spots on walls or ceilings, peeling paint, and areas that stay damp, especially in basements, attics, and bathrooms. Hidden mold can sit behind walls, so a professional inspection is the reliable way to confirm it.
Small surface spots on non-porous materials can often be cleaned by a homeowner. Mold on drywall, insulation, wood framing, or in larger areas should be handled by a professional, because disturbing it can spread spores and the moisture source still needs to be fixed.
It depends on your policy and what caused the moisture. Many policies cover mold that results from a sudden covered event such as a burst pipe, but not mold from long-term seepage or neglect. Check with your insurer, and we can provide documentation of the work to support a claim.
Small, contained jobs may take a few days. Larger projects that include rebuilding walls, ceilings, or floors can take one to two weeks or more. We give you a timeline during the estimate.
Roof and plumbing leaks, ice dams, poor attic and bathroom ventilation, high indoor humidity, and groundwater in basements are the most common causes. Mold needs moisture, so fixing the source is part of every job.
Yes. As a general contractor, we handle the carpentry, drywall, insulation, flooring, and finishing, so you do not need to hire a second company.
Yes. We serve North Andover, Lawrence, Methuen, Tewksbury, Lowell, Haverhill, Dracut, and the surrounding Merrimack Valley.
