Pete Carlson is passionate about helping his neighbors, and that is his goal when leading the

way with CT Mold Pros. Look no further than the historic flooding in western Connecticut last

month for an example: his phone started ringing at midnight on a Sunday night and he made

crews available to pitch in with all hands on deck Monday morning. When something is needed,

Carlson gets his guys ready for work. That is, in fact, how CT Mold Pros began.

Pete Carlson is a Building Performance Institute Certified Building Scientist, with a

background in weatherization and energy efficiency. Throughout his training and field

networking, he has formed a multitude of relationships with home energy assessment

companies across Connecticut. The biggest issue these companies are facing out in the

field is mold -preventing the operation from saving people money on their energy bills.

And trying to find a remediation company that can act quickly was also lacking. Bridging

this gap is where CT Mold Pros was born.

The rapid expansion of CT Mold Pros has been led by an expanding client base throughout all of CT. Carlson says customers relate to the company’s family-friendly vibe exuded by the whole

team, who he says are all friends and get along well. CT Mold Pros’ family atmosphere off the

clock has helped build camaraderie on it, and they walk into every job for mold remediation and

water mitigation with a tight-knit team. They are in and out of projects in short order, connecting

with homeowners without much disruption to their homes or day-to-day lives. Many projects are

handled day-of, increasing the company’s capability to handle more jobs day-to-day and week-

to-week.

Carlson says the next several weeks will be critical for business – as hurricane season rolls in, so, too, does the peak of mold season. CT Mold Pros has invested in additional sales staff and a new truck and equipment to handle what they expect will be a very busy autumn. Carlson says his team is constantly evaluating the needs and adding more crews to be able to keep lead time to days, instead of weeks. As realtors look to buy or sell homes – or, at least, share photos of properties – Carlson’s crew can handle water or mold damage quickly, making sure everything is cleaned up and presentable before moving on to their next challenge.

Occasionally, that challenge will be a once-in-a-thousand-year storm, but even when it isn’t,

mold removal, basement pumping, removal and demolition, you name it.

When duty calls, CT Mold Pros will be ready to go.
