Mold Remediation in Albuquerque, NM

Mold Remediation in Albuquerque: local conditions

Albuquerque, NM sits on expansive clay and caliche in an arid landscape and has an arid climate with about 10–14" of rain a year. The local water table is generally low, with moderate winter freeze–thaw cycling, and slab-on-grade is common with some basements. In practical terms, expansive clay and monsoon flash flooding drive slab movement — which is exactly why mold remediation is a common need here.
