You receive daily updates with moisture readings and photos. You'll always know exactly where the project stands and when it will be complete.
Our Mold Remediation Process
Emergency Containment
First priority: stop the damage from spreading. We contain the affected area, shut off water sources if needed, and begin extracting standing water immediately. For Academy emergencies, our goal is equipment running within 60 minutes of your call.
Controlled Drying & Mold Prevention
Mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours. We deploy dehumidification systems calibrated to your space and monitor humidity levels throughout the drying process. We apply antimicrobial treatments to prevent mold before it starts.
Complete Rebuild & Documentation
From drywall replacement to flooring reinstallation, GoodGuys Water Damage Restoration handles the full restoration. We provide your insurance company with a detailed scope of work, line-item pricing, and before/after documentation.
Mold Remediation Built for Academy
Academy gets about 15-17 inches annually of precipitation, and the local expansive clay (bentonite) creates specific drainage patterns that affect how water enters and moves through residential structures. Our experience with Academy-area homes — many built during the 1970s-2000s suburban growth — means we know where to look for hidden damage that less experienced companies miss.
Neighborhood Knowledge
From the established in Academy neighborhoods to newer developments, we've served families throughout the area.
Seasonal Patterns
Spring in Academy often brings burst pipes and flooding — we're ready 24/7.

DIY vs Professional Mold Remediation: What You Need to Know
After water damage, it's tempting to handle cleanup yourself. Here's an honest comparison:
DIY-Friendly
- ✓Shop vac can remove surface water (but not moisture inside walls)
- ✓Household fans circulate air (but don't control humidity levels)
- ✓Bleach kills surface mold (but doesn't address root causes or hidden growth)
- ✓Cost: $50-200 in supplies (but risk of $5,000-20,000+ in mold remediation later)
Call a Professional
- ★Commercial extractors remove water 10-50x faster than shop vacs
- ★Industrial dehumidifiers + air movers dry structures in 3-5 days (preventing mold)
- ★Thermal imaging finds hidden moisture you can't see or feel
- ★Professional documentation gets insurance claims approved (average 94% approval rate)
For minor surface spills, DIY is fine. For anything involving saturated drywall, carpet padding, or water that sat for more than a few hours — professional mold remediation prevents damage that costs 5-10x more to fix later.
Stop the Damage Before It Spreads
Call (719) 223-0417 — Equipment Deployed on ArrivalCommon Questions About Mold Remediation in Academy
- What should I do while waiting for your crew to arrive?
- If it's safe: turn off electricity to the affected area, stop the water source if you can identify it, move valuables to dry areas, and avoid walking through standing water (it may be contaminated). Don't try to use a household vacuum on water — it's a shock risk. We'll handle everything else when we arrive.
- Can you save my water-damaged belongings (furniture, photos, documents)?
- Often, yes. Our content restoration process can recover many items that appear ruined. Electronics, photos, documents, upholstery, and wood furniture all have specific recovery protocols. The sooner we begin, the higher the salvage rate. We inventory everything and let you know what's recoverable.
- Do you handle the full rebuild, or just the water removal?
- GoodGuys Water Damage Restoration handles everything from initial water extraction through final restoration — drywall, flooring, painting, trim, and fixtures. One team, one point of contact, one insurance claim. No need to coordinate separate contractors.
- What makes you different from national chains like SERVPRO?
- We're locally owned and operated in Academy. That means shorter response times, direct communication with the people doing the work, and pricing without national franchise overhead. Our technicians live in this community and take personal pride in the results.
- What is the average cost of mold remediation in CO?
- Great question. Call GoodGuys Water Damage Restoration at (719) 223-0417 for a detailed answer specific to your Academy situation. We provide free consultations and can discuss your specific mold remediation needs in detail.
