Inspection & Moisture Source
We find the water feeding the mold first — because remediation fails if the moisture source isn't fixed.
Found mold in your Independence property? Millers finds the moisture feeding it, contains and removes it to standard, and rebuilds — the right way, the first time.

Miller’s cleaning and restoration is my only go to. They answered any all questions efficiently as possible. They are always on time and they work diligently to make sure that the job gets done thoroughly and they…
Millers gave us prompt, outstanding service when our daughter's basement flooded. They were kind, courteous, professional, efficient, knew their job well, and gave us a heads up on their arrival schedule each…
Great service and very efficient work. Would definitely recommend!
The fieldstone basements of Independence's older farmhouses stay damp, and in a flood-prone stretch of the Maumee River valley, that dampness gives mold every opportunity to take hold. After spring flooding or an ice-jam backup near Independence Dam, moisture lingers in lower levels long enough for growth to spread into framing and finishes if it is never traced and corrected.
We begin by finding exactly where the water is coming from, whether it is chronic seepage in an Ayersville basement or a slow leak out toward Evansport. From there we set containment, remove the affected materials, and dry the structure to verified moisture levels before rebuilding, so the same problem does not return the next time the valley saturates and the river climbs its banks.
Millers has been family-owned since 1974 and understands how Defiance County's river valley keeps older basements wet season after season, from Adams Township to Sherwood. The crew that responds is Millers Restoration of Bowling Green, focused on correcting the moisture at its source and restoring the property to a sound, dry condition that holds through the next high-water season.

Containment and negative air keep spores from spreading to clean areas during removal.
Affected materials are removed and the area remediated to standard, then cleared.
We rebuild the drywall, flooring, and finishes we had to remove.
Millers responds to mold throughout Independence and Defiance County — including these neighborhoods and areas:
Older farmhouses near the Maumee River often have fieldstone basements that stay damp after spring flooding and freeze-thaw seepage. Mold grows on any organic material that remains wet, and fieldstone holds moisture readily. Controlling that moisture and drying the structure is the key to keeping mold from establishing.
We contain the affected area and control airflow so spores are not carried into clean rooms while removing mold-damaged materials. This matters in Independence's older farmhouses where growth hides in fieldstone basements and behind walls. After removal, we address the moisture source so the conditions do not recur.
Recurring mold means a recurring moisture source, and near the Maumee River that is usually seasonal flooding and seepage into the basement. Cleaning the visible growth without addressing the moisture lets it return each spring. We find the source, remove affected material, and help you correct the conditions driving it.
We inspect for moisture, contain the work area, remove mold-damaged materials, clean salvageable surfaces, and dry the structure to a stable level. Because homes in this river valley deal with recurring flooding and damp, we also identify the source feeding the growth. Correcting that source is what breaks the cycle.
