Mold Removal in Capitol Hill, UT

Capitol Hill rises north of downtown around the Utah State Capitol, built between 1912 and 1916 on the brow of the hill. The west slope is the Marmalade District, named for streets called Apricot, Quince, and Almond, with narrow, steep, irregular roads and houses that run from 1850s Utah vernacular to Victorian mansions; the Capitol Hill Historic District is on the National Register and holds residences from the 1850s through the 1900s. The east slope drops into City Creek Canyon above the Avenues.

Steep ground and old foundations make the mold here a drainage problem. Meltwater runs downhill through the Marmalade streets every April, and an 1880s adobe or stone foundation on the uphill side of a lot takes it straight in. Many of these houses had a cellar finished into living space in the last forty years, and drywall against a wall that has wept for a century is where the growth shows.

Homeowners on Capitol Hill reach an independent local mold provider through this site's phone line. That provider reads the uphill wall with a meter before anything is opened. We only set up the call.

Growth on the finished wall of an old cellar after the melt is mold removal, with the uphill drainage fixed first. A black ceiling corner in a bathroom added to an 1890s house is bathroom mold removal. A musty smell every spring with nothing showing is mold odor removal.

The building the neighborhood is named for

The Utah State Capitol stands at the top of the hill, and its grounds are where the neighborhood's snow melts first each spring and runs downhill through the streets below.
