Mold Is a Hidden Threat-We Help You Detect It, Eliminate It, and Prevent It
Most mold remediation companies in our area only “treat” mold with harsh chemicals. At MBS we strive to follow EPA S520 guidelines – not just neutralizing mold, but removing the source, spores, and stains. Using our proprietary enzymatic cleaner in conjunction with EPA registered fungicides, HEPA/ULPA vacuums and filtration, and proper containment, we go the extra mile to ensure a healthy, safe remediation that protects your home or workspace.
Mold is more than just an unsightly problem. In the wrong conditions, it can spread quickly through basements, crawlspaces, attics, and HVAC systems—damaging building materials and affecting your health. At Montana Basement Solutions, we provide comprehensive mold services designed to identify the source, remove the contamination, and prevent it from returning.
Whether you’re already seeing signs of mold or suspect it might be hidden behind walls or under flooring, our team can help you get clarity—and lasting peace of mind.
Common Signs of a Mold Problem
Even if mold isn’t visible, these symptoms often point to an underlying moisture or air quality issue:
- Musty or earthy odors
- Persistent allergy or respiratory symptoms
- Staining on walls, ceilings, or floor joists
- Recent water intrusion or flooding
- High humidity or condensation in enclosed areas
If you’re experiencing any of these, it’s time to take action.
What Causes Mold to Grow?
Mold thrives in damp, dark environments—especially when ventilation is poor and relative humidity stays above 50%. Common triggers include:
- Wet basements and crawlspaces
- Foundation cracks and groundwater intrusion
- Unsealed HVAC systems
- Poorly insulated and/or vented attics
- Construction delays and improper material storage in new builds
- Foul weather
We’ve seen extensive mold growth in both older homes and new construction. Modern building materials—especially soft woods and glues—can become food sources for mold when exposed to moisture.
Our Mold Solutions
Mold Testing
The first step is to understand what you’re dealing with. Our certified team performs mold testing using air, swab, mycotoxin and surface samples, analyzed by an independent third-party lab. This identifies the type and quantity of mold present, along with where it’s hiding.
- Quantifies mold levels in your home
- Identifies hidden mold sources (including HVAC systems)
- Provides lab reports you can share with health professionals
- Gives you a clear baseline before remediation begins
- Consultation with a Mold Expert
DIY mold test kits may show growth—but they don’t provide usable data. Professional testing ensures accurate identification and proper treatment planning.
Mold Remediation
Once we know where the mold is and what type it is, we move forward with targeted remediation using our 5-step process. Unlike companies that rely on bleach or harsh chemicals, we use bio-enzyme formulas that are non-toxic, EPA-compliant, and safe for homes, families, pets, and even plants.
- Treatments/solutions for porous surfaces like wood, drywall, and insulation
- Fogging and surface application techniques
- All treatments overseen by trained remediation specialists
- Available post-remediation verification services available by MBS or a customer-preferred third party
This isn’t just about “killing” mold—it’s about removing it entirely and ensuring it won’t return.
Mold Prevention
After remediation—or as a proactive measure during construction and/or remediation—we offer long-lasting coatings that stop mold before it starts. This antimicrobial layer not only improves air quality but also leaves a bright white finish to boost light reflection in dark areas.
- 5-Year Manufacturer Warranty: Guaranteed protection on all treated surfaces.
- Versatile Application: Bonds to wood, concrete, and drywall.
- Targeted Protection: Perfect for basements, attics, crawlspaces, and bathrooms.
- Air & Light: White finish improves visibility while creating a cleaner, breathable environment.

A Note on Health
Mold affects people differently. For some, it may cause only mild symptoms. For others—especially those with asthma, allergies, or immune sensitivities—exposure can trigger more serious reactions. If you’re experiencing ongoing health issues and suspect mold may be involved, consider getting a professional evaluation.
EPA mold remediation guidelines
According to EPA publications, “Breathing in mold may also cause hypersensitivity pneumonitis, an uncommon disease that resembles bacterial pneumonia. In addition, mold exposure may result in opportunistic infections in persons whose immune systems are weakened or suppressed.”
