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 Lima property? Millers finds the moisture feeding it, contains and removes it to standard, and rebuilds — the right way, the first time.

Amazing work polite and attentive alwase on time couldn't be happier
HIGHHHLLYYY RECCOMEND!! Super friendly, mindful of the house & the surroundings, Did exactly what my house needed! Didnt mind i have a large friendly pup. And on time:) They were recommended by...
We had an emergency situation at a rental property that occurred early on a Saturday morning when I was out of town - hours away. I called Miller’s and they had someone onsite at the property within an hour. They had…
Because Lima sits on the drained Great Black Swamp with high groundwater and poor drainage, its pre-1950 basements stay damp, and steady moisture is exactly what mold needs to establish. Around Downtown Lima and Perry Township, wet lower levels and slow leaks let growth spread into framing and finishes long before an owner notices, especially where the Ottawa River runs close.
We begin by tracing the moisture source, because in a city built on old swamp ground, remediation that skips the cause is only temporary. Whether it is chronic seepage on the East side or a hidden leak in North Lima, we set containment, remove the affected materials, and dry the structure to verified levels before rebuilding, so the space stays dry rather than reverting the next wet season.
Millers has been family-owned since 1974 and understands how Allen County's groundwater keeps moisture problems recurring, from the Golden Block to the neighborhoods near the Allen County Museum. The crew that responds is Millers Restoration of Bowling Green, focused on correcting the source and restoring the property to sound condition.

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 Lima and Allen County — including these neighborhoods and areas:
Lima's drained-swamp soils bring high groundwater and poor drainage, leaving basements chronically damp across the older core neighborhoods. Mold grows on any organic material that stays wet, so these conditions keep it recurring. Controlling the moisture and drying the structure is the foundation of keeping mold under control.
We seal off the affected area and control airflow so spores are not spread into clean rooms while removing mold-damaged materials. This matters in Lima's older homes where growth hides in damp basements and behind plaster. After removal, we address the moisture source so the conditions do not recur.
Chronic dampness from high groundwater is the driver of recurring mold in many Lima basements, and surface cleaning alone will not stop it. We identify the moisture source, remove affected material, and dry the structure to a stable level. Managing that ongoing moisture is what keeps the growth from returning.
We inspect for moisture, contain the work area, remove mold-damaged materials, clean salvageable surfaces, and dry the structure to a stable level. Because Lima's high water table drives recurring dampness, we also identify the source feeding the growth. Correcting that source is what breaks the cycle.
