Fast, Reliable Mold Remediation Across Jordan
If you’re dealing with mold in a Jordan home after a flood, a foundation leak, or a cold-snap pipe burst, here’s what you need to know: mold remediation in Jordan typically runs $1,800-$5,600 for a full basement or crawl space, inspection and testing start around $350-$650, and Wade’s crew can be on site within 60-90 minutes for active moisture problems. We’re not a call center. The person who answers the phone is Wade himself, and he’s been sending local crews into Jordan since 2007. Call (888) 690-6095 and tell him what you’re seeing. He’ll tell you straight whether you need full Mold Remediation or a controlled dry-out first.
What makes Jordan different from the suburbs on the bluff is the river. The Minnesota River doesn’t just flood sometimes here. It floods in cycles, and when it does, it leaves behind river silt and Category 3 water that carries pathogens into basements and crawl spaces. Mold follows water. We know the old worker cottages on Water Street, the block foundations downtown, and the newer builds up in the growth corridor. Each one fails differently, and each one needs a different drying and treatment plan.
Why Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis Is Jordan’s Preferred Mold Remediation Company
We show up with our own equipment, our own crew, and a moisture log we hand you at the end of the job. No subcontractor roulette. The same people who started the drying run the remediation and the final air quality test. That matters in Jordan, where half the homes we enter have already been through at least one prior flood event. We find what the last company missed because we’re looking for it specifically.
Wade’s Restoration is locally owned and owner-operated. Wade publishes his name, address, and license number, and he answers his own phone at 2 a.m. That’s not a slogan. Ask anyone on your street who’s had water in their basement. There’s a good chance they already have his number saved. Our Jordan customers get the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every mold job. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. One call brings him back.
Response time to Jordan from our metro dispatch is roughly an hour. For an active water intrusion feeding mold growth, that’s the difference between a $2,000 drying job and a $12,000 gut-and-rebuild. Wade heads out immediately for those. For a scheduled mold inspection or air quality test, we’ll work around your day and be there when we say we will.
Our Mold Remediation Services in Jordan
Mold Inspection & Testing
A mold inspection in a Jordan home should start with the history of the structure, not just a moisture meter sweep. Homes in the flood zone near the river have layered damage histories. We look for ghost stains on old plaster, re-wetted framing behind vapor barriers, and subfloors that were covered over after a previous claim without being properly dried. Testing costs $350-$650 in Jordan depending on square footage and how many samples we pull.
Mold Removal
Removing mold in Jordan homes usually means more than scrubbing surface growth. The river valley humidity in late summer keeps interior wood moisture high, especially in basements and crawl spaces. We contain the affected area, HEPA-vacuum the framing, remove and bag contaminated material, and dry the structure to below the mold-active threshold. A typical basement mold removal in Jordan runs $1,800-$4,200.
Black Mold Remediation
Stachybotrys, the black mold everyone asks about, shows up most often in Jordan after Category 3 flood events. River water carries organic matter that feeds it. We treat black mold as a full containment job every time: negative air, HEPA filtration, full PPE, and clearance testing after. Black mold remediation in a flooded Jordan basement typically runs $3,000-$6,500 because the contamination layer goes deeper than what’s visible.
Air Quality Restoration
After we’ve removed the mold and dried the structure, we run B-Air air scrubbers and XPOWER HEPA units for 48-72 hours to pull airborne spores down to background levels. Then we test. Air quality restoration in Jordan after a Category 3 flood usually costs $900-$1,800, including post-remediation clearance testing. You get the lab results. We don’t keep them in a file.

Trusted Brands We Service in Jordan
We run professional-grade equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, Injectidry, XPOWER, and B-Air. That’s not window dressing. A 1905 worker’s cottage on Water Street doesn’t dry like a 2015 walk-out rambler near the high school. The Injectidry systems let us push air through wall cavities without gutting the plaster. The Phoenix desiccants pull moisture at lower temperatures, which matters in a Jordan crawl space in November. And because we stock our own service parts for this equipment, we don’t lose a day waiting on a third-party repair when a pump goes down mid-job. Down time is how mold recolonizes. We don’t give it the window.
Common Mold Remediation Problems We See in Jordan Homes
- Floodplain foundations that never fully dry. Jordan’s location in the Minnesota River Valley means some basements flood every 5-7 years whether the homeowners do everything right or not. After each event, the fieldstone or concrete block absorbs water deep into the masonry. Without aggressive drying with inline systems, mold recolonizes within days behind finished walls.
- Ghost stains and hidden framing damage in historic downtown homes. Many older Jordan houses have been through the 1993 flood, the 2019 flood, and smaller surge events in between. Previous remediations often covered over damage with new drywall and a coat of paint. Behind that, the framing can be actively growing mold for years. This is the most common thing we find during inspections in the downtown core.
- Compromised subfloors that pass a quick moisture test. After repeated flooding, a subfloor can look dry on the surface but harbor active moisture and mold against the joists. A quick pin meter sweep misses it. We take 40-60 readings per room and log them all. You get the log at the end of the job, whether it’s day one or day nine.
- Crawl spaces collecting spring runoff every year. The freeze-thaw cycles in Scott County crack concrete block foundations over time. When snowmelt runs toward the river, it finds those cracks and carries silt into crawl spaces. By the time a homeowner smells it, the mold has usually spread across the floor system.
Pricing for Mold Remediation in Jordan, MN
Let’s talk real numbers so you can plan. A mold inspection with moisture mapping and air sampling in Jordan runs $350-$650. Crawl space mold treatment averages $1,400-$2,800 depending on square footage and whether we’re encapsulating after remediation. A full basement mold removal is $1,800-$5,600, and if we’re dealing with black mold from Category 3 floodwater, expect $3,000-$6,500 including containment and clearance testing. The things that move the final price: how long the moisture was present, whether flooring and drywall need to come out, and whether the structure needs repeated drying cycles due to the river valley humidity. We give you a written scope before any work starts, with the numbers next to each line item. No charge for a second opinion on another company’s estimate, and no trip charge in Scott County.

FAQs - Mold Remediation in Jordan
Jordan sits directly in the river valley, so floodwater here arrives carrying river silt and Category 3 contaminants from a massive upstream drainage area, not just local runoff. That water leaves behind organic material that feeds mold growth far more aggressively than clean rainwater would. Homes in Jordan’s flood zone need floodplain-specific drying and treatment protocols: aggressive dehumidification, silt removal, and disinfection before any drywall goes back up. If a mold job in Jordan skips those steps, the mold returns. Every time. Call (888) 690-6095 and Wade will walk you through what your property actually needs.
Yes, absolutely. The late-1800s and early-1900s worker housing near downtown Jordan sits on fieldstone and poured-concrete block foundations that crack under decades of freeze-thaw cycles. When spring snowmelt pushes toward the river, it seeps through those cracks and into crawl spaces and basements. The water carries river silt and whatever else drains through the valley. Wade takes daily moisture readings during any drying job and hands you the full log, so by the time inspection is done, you know exactly which walls and which joists stayed wet. That’s the part almost nobody else does.
Black mold is Stachybotrys chartarum, a mold that grows on high-cellulose materials like drywall and wood that have stayed wet for a week or more. In Jordan, it shows up most often after Category 3 flood events from the Minnesota River, because the water carries organic matter that feeds the mold and pathogens that complicate the cleanup. It’s not something to handle without containment, negative air pressure, and proper PPE. We treat every black mold job in Jordan as a full containment job. Estimates for black mold remediation are free. Call (888) 690-6095.
Yes, and in the river valley it often does, unless the drying work gets all the way into the framing and the crawl space is treated. We remediated a basement in a 1905 worker’s cottage on Water Street after the 2019 flood left layered silt and hidden moisture in the fieldstone foundation. Our crew used Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and Injectidry systems to dry the re-wetted framing, then performed black mold removal and air quality restoration before re-testing every room. The key was drying the masonry, not just the air. Most mold remediation that fails in Jordan fails because someone dried the room but not the structure. That’s why our 90-Day Done Right Promise matters. If it comes back, we come back.
Because in Jordan, the crawl space is usually where the river water goes first, and it’s the last place to dry. Crawl spaces under older homes near the river collect spring runoff and snowmelt every year, and the high summer humidity in the valley keeps them wet for weeks. Mold grows across the floor joists, then climbs into the house. Crawl space treatment in Jordan typically runs $1,400-$2,800, including moisture and humidity control after remediation. We’ll also do a free estimate for the encapsulation if the space needs it.
