Why Floodline Restoration Co. of Minneapolis Is Hudson’s Preferred Mold Remediation Company
Hudson homeowners call us because we treat the mold they can’t see, not just the mold on the wall. Our crews work the older riverfront blocks between downtown and the St. Croix riverbank regularly, and we’ve probed enough late-19th-century masonry foundations along 2nd and 3rd Street to know that hidden moisture behind plaster is the rule, not the exception. We answer the phone with a person at two in the morning, background-checked and uniformed technicians show up when we say they will, and the work is backed by the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Curt Bowman founded this company in 2010 around a dispatch board, not a sales desk, and that’s the way it still runs.
For 42 years, the people of this region have wanted a square deal: no surprises on the bill, a name they can hold accountable, and a crew that doesn’t hand the job off mid-way. We built this company on that. The homeowners we serve in Hudson are mostly people who’ve lived in their houses twenty years and plan to stay. They don’t want the cheapest bid. They want it done right the first time.
Our Mold Remediation Services in Hudson
Mold Inspection & Testing
Before we remove anything, we find where the moisture is coming from. That’s not optional in Hudson. The city’s position in the St. Croix River valley means spring snowmelt pushes water into basements and crawlspaces of low-lying properties well into April and May, and we need to know whether we’re dealing with a one-time event or a recurring flood pattern. Inspection and testing in Hudson homes typically runs $300-$650 depending on the number of samples and whether we’re testing behind walls or just air quality.
Mold Removal
Once we know the moisture source, removal begins. In Hudson’s 1990s-era suburban homes, that often means opening wall cavities to check for hidden growth in OSB sheathing and engineered-lumber framing. Surface cleaning alone leaves mold off-gassing spores behind the drywall, and the problem returns within a season. We remove affected materials, treat the framing, and dry the cavity to below 15% moisture content before rebuilding. Mold removal in Hudson typically runs $1,200-$4,000 depending on square footage affected.
Black Mold Remediation
Stachybotrys, the one people call black mold, grows where cellulose materials stay wet for weeks. Hudson riverfront basements and crawlspaces near Lake Mallalieu are prime locations, especially after flood events. We treat black mold as a containment job: sealed barriers, negative air pressure, HEPA filtration. Black mold remediation in Hudson runs $2,500-$6,500 depending on how far the growth has traveled into framing and whether structural drying is required.
Air Quality Restoration
After removal comes the air. We use professional-grade B-Air and Dri-Eaz air scrubbers to pull spores from the indoor environment and bring the air back to a condition your family can breathe. In Hudson homes near the river, we typically complete air quality restoration the same week as remediation, with post-treatment air samples confirming the spore count has dropped to normal background levels. Air quality restoration in Hudson runs $400-$900 for a standard home.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hudson
We run Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, XPOWER, and Injectidry equipment because these machines hold their readings and dry what they claim to dry. Our techs are trained to IICRC and RIA standards, which matters when you’re dealing with a 1910-era masonry foundation near the St. Croix that’s held moisture for decades. We stock replacement parts and consumables locally, so Hudson customers aren’t waiting on a shipment from out of state. Most jobs in Hudson are completed in a single visit.
Common Mold Remediation Problems We See in Hudson Homes
- Hidden mold in riverfront basements. Properties between downtown Hudson and the St. Croix riverbank have often seen repeated flood intrusion events over the decades. We regularly find residual moisture trapped in older, non-moisture-resistant materials that a surface moisture meter misses entirely.
- OSB degradation in 1990s suburban builds. Hudson’s heavy suburban build-out in the 1990s and 2000s left thousands of homes with OSB sheathing and engineered-lumber framing. When water intrusion goes undetected, those materials degrade fast, and mold grows inside wall cavities long before you see it on the drywall.
- Repeated spring snowmelt intrusion near Lake Mallalieu. Homes in the Lake Mallalieu corridor deal with water pushing into basements and crawlspaces every spring. Treating surface mold without addressing the recurring intrusion means you’re doing the same remediation next year.
- Balloon-frame construction in older Hudson blocks. The late-19th and early-20th century homes near downtown use balloon-frame construction, which means wall cavities run from basement to attic. Mold moves vertically through those cavities fast, and what starts in a damp basement shows up on the second floor within weeks.
In the lower downtown blocks near the St. Croix riverbank, our crew probed a late-19th-century masonry foundation after repeated spring flood intrusion and found residual moisture behind plaster that a standard surface scan missed. We removed affected lath and plaster, treated the exposed framing with an IICRC-approved antimicrobial, and installed a Dri-Eaz LGR dehumidifier to bring the cavity below 15% moisture content before rebuilding. That’s the difference between surface cleaning and actual mold remediation in Hudson.

FAQs - Mold Remediation in Hudson
Because the mold is rarely limited to the surface. Hudson’s riverfront homes have absorbed decades of flood cycles from the St. Croix, and moisture trapped in plaster and lath behind the wall is invisible to a surface meter. Opening the wall lets us remove affected material, treat the framing, and dry the cavity below 15% moisture content so the mold doesn’t return. Call (888) 861-1852 for an inspection with photo documentation sent directly to your insurance carrier.
Freeze-thaw cycling drives burst pipes and ice dam leaks every spring in Hudson, and the water they release soaks into OSB sheathing and engineered-lumber framing that degrade quickly when wet. A leak that happens in March turns into hidden mold by May if the wall cavity isn’t opened and dried. We handle the extraction, the drying, and the mold remediation in one visit, same crew, with daily moisture readings logged until the dry standard is met.
Yes, and it does, especially in older balloon-frame homes near Lake Mallalieu where wall cavities run uninterrupted from basement to attic. Mold spores travel vertically through those cavities, so a damp basement becomes a second-floor problem within weeks. We treat the full cavity, not just the room where you saw the mold. Call (888) 861-1852 and a live dispatcher will get a certified technician to your Hudson home today.
Repeated flood saturation of older masonry and non-moisture-resistant materials. Homes near the St. Croix riverbank have often flooded multiple times over the decades, and the residual moisture sits in materials that modern surface meters can miss. In one lower downtown Hudson home, we found moisture behind plaster that had been there for years, still feeding mold growth even though the wall read dry. That’s the Hudson-specific problem, and it’s why we probe subfloor assemblies and foundation walls on every riverfront job.
Hudson’s 1990s suburban homes sit on land that drains toward the St. Croix valley and Lake Mallalieu, and their crawlspaces collect moisture from spring snowmelt and freeze-thaw cycles every year. Once mold establishes in the crawlspace, it draws moisture upward into the floor framing and eventually the living space. Crawl space treatment, including vapor barrier installation, dehumidification, and moisture control, stops that cycle before it spreads. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers the work in writing, and we stand behind it.
