“I had some flooding in my upstairs bathroom that leaked down to my basement and within minutes KPM restoration (Jamie Kennedy) helped me out of a major jam. Thanks again. Great team and would recommend them to anyone.”
Brandon Polcare - Egan
“Day 1 of working with KPM for an emergency flood in the house due to a pipe breaking. Travis and Evan were on there game!! They worked tirelessly for several hours to start the mitigation of a bathroom and basement, all while explaining to me what they were doing and what was going to be happening moving forward. Let you know how the next couple of days go!! Day 2 Evan and his crew showed up promptly and got right to work accessing their efforts done on day 1. They quickly broke up into groups and were assigned responsibilities. Despite the cold outside and wet conditions they worked with smiles on their faces. Looks like one more day left and we'll see how it goes. Well after some more inspection it looks like additional mitigation. Thorough look was key to uncovering wet sub floors. With that Red and some of the boys began careful removal of cabinets to get at the flooring that needed to come out. Everything that was taken out for future replacement was moved to a dry area of the house and placed behind plastic. One week later and dryers and dehumidifier still running but areas definitely drying out!”

“Having water damage is a miserable experience but the guys at KPM have been incredible all the way through. They showed up the same day we called and have been responsive and thorough with each step of the process. We mainly worked with Dave, Evan and Nate and they were all very communicative, highly professional and very helpful at getting us through this process. Hopefully we’ll never need their services again but if we do, they’d be the first call we would make. We cannot recommend them enough!”
Lucy Campbell
“I can’t recommend this restoration company enough! We had significant water damage at our barbershops, and they went above and beyond to restore everything. Their customer service was top-notch—professional, friendly, and communicative throughout the entire process. The team worked quickly and efficiently without compromising on quality. They truly saved the day and exceeded all expectations. If you need restoration services, these are the people to call!”
Anthony Payne
“Kpm came in during an awful time and a disaster. Their team was so professional and quick and made me feel so much better. I had a water damage issue that I thought was gonna take MF and they got the water out and Redid my basement within one month.”
Tyler Sheridan
“We had a bad black mold infestation in the attic. KPM gave us the best price (after getting quotes from several abatement companies), and worked with us for a convenient schedule. The crew was friendly and professional, and gave us updates at least twice a day about how it was going. The work was done on time, and the price did not change once they were done. We HIGHLY recommend that you choose KPM!”

What to Know
Understanding Mold Growth
Massachusetts Mold Remediation: IICRC and EPA Standards
Massachusetts does not have a state-mandated mold remediation license. We follow the national industry standard (IICRC S520) and EPA mold remediation guidance, which together define proper protocols for containment, HEPA filtration, removal of affected materials, antimicrobial treatment, and post-remediation verification. Our technicians hold IICRC certifications including WRT (Water Damage Restoration) and AMRT (Applied Microbial Remediation). For documentation purposes, we can recommend independent mold assessors.
Mold in North Adams's Mill Housing
North Adams has a deep stock of 19th-century mill worker housing built during the city's textile and electronics manufacturing peak. These buildings often have fieldstone or brick basements that wick moisture year-round, original plaster walls that hide growth behind them, and original subfloors where mold spreads unseen. We use thermal imaging and moisture meters to find hidden colonies before they spread, then contain and remove them properly without damaging the original architectural details.
Mold in Converted Industrial Buildings Around MASS MoCA
The MASS MoCA campus and surrounding converted industrial buildings present unique mold challenges: original brick and stone walls that can wick moisture, large open spaces where humidity accumulates, and adaptive reuse build-outs that may have trapped moisture in newer wall assemblies. We assess these properties carefully and remediate with attention to the unique architecture.
After a Water Loss: Mold Prevention Window
Mold can begin colonizing wet materials in as little as 24 to 48 hours. If your property has had a burst pipe, sump pump failure, sewer backup, or storm flooding, getting the structure dried and treated fast is what prevents a water job from turning into a mold job. If the water event is recent, our water damage restoration and mold teams coordinate so you are not managing two contractors.
We Work With Your Insurance
Mold claims are handled carefully by insurance carriers and documentation matters. We bill in Xactimate, the industry-standard estimating software adjusters use, and we coordinate directly with your carrier.
How Mold Remediation Works in Massachusetts
Massachusetts does not require a state-mandated mold remediation license. We follow IICRC S520 protocols and EPA guidance, the national industry standard, and recommend an independent assessor for pre- and post-remediation documentation.
Inspection and Quote
We perform a visual inspection of the affected area, identify the moisture source, and provide a detailed scope and estimate. For documentation purposes, we can recommend independent mold assessors who perform pre- and post-remediation testing.
Source Repair
The source of the moisture must be addressed before remediation begins, otherwise the mold will return. We can handle the repair ourselves or coordinate with plumbers or roofers to get it resolved.
Containment and Remediation
We set up containment barriers and negative air pressure systems to isolate the affected area. HEPA-filtered air scrubbers capture airborne spores. Contaminated materials are safely removed following IICRC S520 protocols, and all surfaces are treated with professional-grade antimicrobial agents.
Restoration
If an independent assessor was engaged, they return to perform clearance testing and verify successful remediation. We then restore the space, including drywall, insulation, and paint, back to pre-loss condition.
