Stop the water, dry what you can and call us; the consultation is free.
Emergency mold treatment in Falls Church, VA is for the days after water gets into a house, while wet drywall, carpet and framing are still drying. On 9 July 2025 a flash flood warning covered Falls Church, McLean and Vienna and more than 10,000 Dominion Energy customers lost power, and a sump pump without battery backup stops when the power does, so check the pit after any storm that cuts the lights.
A pipe can also give way inside a wall, or a tenant can complain and the landlord need an answer this week. Either way, the steps on this page come first, then a call: tell us what happened, and we'll talk through next steps and the earliest visit we can offer. How we treat is on our mold remediation page.

“My wife had the pleasure of working with Mr. Bryce for a remediation project. We had come to know that he is honest with a genuine will to help you and guide you through a hard process such as mold remediation. Glad we got in contact with you Mr Bryce, thank you!”
“Bryce has been so amazing with not only his knowledge on the subject of mold but he has helped me as my apartment complex completed mold remediation in my unit. He has always been quick to answer any and all questions I had (which was a LOT) either through text or over the phone and helpful with additional advice or things to question while I am going through remediation. I 1,000% recommend this company!! They also make it so easy to schedule with them whether that be requesting a consultation online or calling over the phone. Again, I have nothing negative to say and will continue to use Bryce and EnviroPure for any future issues.”
“I reached out to this company with an issue I was having and they got back to me ASAP. I spoke with Bryce and he provided me with great advice to fix the problem without coming out and charging me lots of money that other companies would have jumped at the opportunity to. If I ever have a question or issue in the future, I know who to call!”
“Bryce operates a reputable business and delivers solid results. My wife has validated mold toxicity from two separate blood tests over a 9 month period. I was facing close to $40,000 of mold remediation in my house, desperate to find whatever mold there might be wherever it might be hidden. I had already replaced a faulty HVAC in the attic, as well as some rotten roof joists under a leak. Thinking I got it all, some experts were quoting $5000 just to poke a million holes in my wall and look. The doctor said “just replace all the carpets.” That’s a $20G proposition these days! This dry-fog technology uses FDA approved chemicals, and was tested by the Army Corps of Engineers (!). The fog gets into every nook and cranny of the house, ventilation system, even penetrates through drywall (due to microscopic particle size under pressure) and into carpets. it’s a blue ridge mall into useless fragments upon contact. The only downside is that we had to be out of the house for seven or so hours, while the fog is applied and left in place, section by section of your house. (We have a big house, so smaller houses would go faster.) No need to cover up food or the lake, since it is a dry fog of hydrogen peroxide and the acid in vinegar. it sure beats over-spending on mold testing (which this company will do just to identify necessary areas to target)! The before- and after-tests demonstrate actual results, or he re-applies it until all mold is gone (sans any stray particles that float in from outdoors). We had a phenomenal nights rest after he fogged it. Can’t speak highly enough of this technology and company.”
“Working with Bryce and Pure Maintenance was an excellent experience. Bryce was very responsive to my communications, he was able to be onsite quickly and he is very knowledgeable. Additionally, he recommended actions that were cost effective and appropriate for the situation.”
“Bryce has been a pleasure to work with - extremely knowledgeable, caring and thorough in all interactions. My daughter has many health conditions one of which is a severe reaction to mold. Bryce and his employee treated her entire living space and belongings to where she was able to continue living in her apartment mold-free. Bryce is very responsive and cares deeply about the well being of his customers. I highly recommend this company and service for anyone dealing with water leaks and mold issues.”
If a pipe burst, shut off the main valve and call a plumber. If rain came in through a basement wall, a door or the roof, note where it entered and how high it rose. If the power went out and the sump pit overflowed, get the pump running again before anything else, and ask the plumber about a battery backup once things settle.
Turn off power to any room where water has reached outlets, cords or appliances, at the breaker if you can reach it from a dry spot, and have an electrician check anything that got wet before it is used again.
Take photos of the water and the damage as you go, and write down the date and time the water came in and when it stopped. Your insurer may ask for both, and the timeline tells us how long materials stayed wet.
Move wet rugs, cushions and cardboard boxes out of the room. Open the space up, run fans and a dehumidifier if you have them, and pull furniture a few inches away from wet walls so air can reach behind it.
Lift a corner of any wet carpet so air reaches the pad, and open closet and cabinet doors in the wet rooms. Hold on to anything you're unsure about until the visit; soaked cardboard, rugs and cushions that can't dry quickly are the usual losses.
Check the rooms around the wet one as well. Water runs under flooring and along the bottom of wall cavities, so the room next door can be wet at the base of the shared wall even when its floor looks dry.
In summer, run the air conditioning if it works and the ducts stayed dry, since it pulls moisture out of the air while the house dries.
Tearing out wet drywall before anyone has mapped the moisture can add rebuild work you didn't need. Moisture readings show which sections are still wet and which will dry where they are. Mapping first keeps any removal to what is actually wet.
If a contractor has already opened some walls, leave the openings as they are and tell us. We can read the framing directly, which tells us how far the water went.
Talk it through with us on the phone first. The consultation is free, and so is the visual inspection and estimate when visible mold is confirmed.
If there's no visible mold but you're worried about what the water left behind, air quality testing through a third-party lab gives you numbers to look at. It also helps when a tenant and a landlord disagree about the damage. Our mold inspection and testing page explains the options.
Sometimes the first sample shows indoor air close to the outdoor one, and that is worth knowing before you pay for treatment. When the numbers are high, the same lab tests again after treatment, so the two results compare directly.
Mold treatment comes after the trades that stop and dry the water. A plumber stops a burst pipe and can fit a battery backup to the sump pump. A roofer closes a roof leak. An electrician checks any outlet or panel that got wet. Standing water needs pumping out and drying equipment running as soon as you can arrange it.
Tell each of them about the others. Our inspection notes name the moisture source and the rooms it reached, which gives every trade the same picture of the house.
Keep the receipts for anything you buy or rent to dry the house, along with the plumber's and roofer's invoices.
The water source has to be fixed first, by you or the right trade, because mold comes back wherever moisture keeps arriving. On treatment day the home is empty: people, pets and plants leave, and furniture and electronics generally stay where they are.
The VaPURE sterilant goes in as a vapor and reaches surfaces, wall cavities, HVAC ducting, porous materials and the air. An antimicrobial protectant stage follows, which helps resist new growth once the moisture cause is fixed. Most homes are treated in a single day, and families are back the same evening.
Most homes need no demolition. When a material is too far gone, we say so in the estimate and it comes out. Afterward, air samples go to the same accredited third-party lab, which has no affiliation with EnviroPure.
The consultation is free, and so is the visual inspection with an estimate when visible mold is confirmed.
When the whole property is treated and a follow-up lab test within a year shows mold above regional averages, we re-treat at no charge.
EnviroPure Mold Services treats mold under a license for Pure Maintenance's patented VaPURE process.
Where the water came in and when, which rooms got wet, whether you can see or smell mold, and whether anyone has started pulling out drywall or flooring. Photos help, especially ones taken while the water was still there. Tell us the town, too, and whether the power is back on.
That depends on the schedule that week, so we don't promise a time here. Call, and we'll tell you the earliest visit we can offer and what to do until then.
Hold off on anything you're unsure about. Furniture, framing and drywall can often be treated where they are, and the walk-through tells you which items are past saving.
Mold follows moisture, so the walk-through maps how far the water reached before we suggest treating anything. A basement that flooded and dried quickly may need far less than one that stayed wet for a week. Tell us how long the water stood and how the basement was dried.
A musty smell without a recent leak can wait for a normal appointment. Book a consultation and tell us when the smell is strongest, and if water turns up while you wait, call again.
Stop the source first. Call us and we'll talk through next steps and the earliest visit we can offer.
