Why Lee County Homeowners Trust Barex for Mold Remediation
Mold Often Starts Where You Can't See It
A small leak or damp area can leave moisture behind walls, beneath flooring, or inside cabinets. We look beyond visible mold to understand where the moisture is coming from and what areas may be affected.
We Address the Cause, Not Just the Surface
Cleaning visible mold won't solve the problem if the moisture remains. Our team identifies the source, assesses the affected materials, and recommends the steps needed to address both the mold and the conditions that allowed it to grow.
One Team for Water Damage and Mold
Mold can appear after a leak, appliance failure, or flooding. Barex can help manage the process from water mitigation and drying to mold remediation and repairs, reducing the need to coordinate multiple contractors.
A Clear Plan for Your Home
Every mold issue is different. We explain what we find, what needs attention, and which steps are appropriate for your property. You’ll have a clearer understanding of the work before moving forward.

Early Action Makes a Difference
Leaks, flooding, roof damage, appliance failures, and even high humidity can leave moisture hidden where mold thrives.
Water trapped behind walls, beneath flooring, or inside insulation can create ideal conditions for mold, even after surfaces appear dry.
The sooner hidden moisture is identified and addressed, the easier it is to prevent mold from spreading and causing more extensive damage.

Will definitely recommend for any and all repair work for house!
Professional, clear and always keeping connected with the client. Mr. Octavio Urbina was always notifying us of each and every step, accepting and honoring all of our requests while working on the construction. The job was easily done at the promised time, and no damages or any other minor mess was made. The payment portion was also upfront and honest, never had to argue or hassle, just a really honest company. Will definitely recommend for any and all repair work for house!

Miguel Shiell
We couldn’t be more impressed and grateful for his outstanding service and professionalism.
We needed an expert second opinion from an independent fire restoration company after we had an issue with the one our insurance provided. Manny absolutely went above and beyond, making time the same day we called to go out to our house after his workday ended and provided us with thorough and incredibly knowledgeable advice - all on the Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving. We couldn’t be more impressed and grateful for his outstanding service and professionalism.

They listened to my concerns and were extremely personable.
I had a flood where both my top floor bathroom and bottom foyer area were flooded. I looked up mitigation services and I came upon Barex. Omar and Manny came out to my home and they were both professional and down to earth. They listened to my concerns and were extremely personable. Omar made sure that I felt comfortable with the entire process and I appreciated his bedside manner Thank you Omar and Barex.

They opened the wall, took out all the bad stuff, dried everything properly and fixed it like it never happened.
We’d been fighting bathroom mold forever and nothing worked until Barex showed up. They opened the wall, took out all the bad stuff, dried everything properly and fixed it like it never happened. The wall looks brand new now and the smell is gone. Super easy to talk to, explained what they were doing, and didn’t cut corners. And Lucia from customer service was amazing, patiently answering all our questions. Feels great to finally have our bathroom back.

They saved my family from mold in our home.
I’d recommend this company to anyone! They saved my family from mold in our home. We discovered mold in the home when my kid kept getting sick and discovered there was a water leak. They responded quickly and helped get the mold. They opened the walls cleaned it and gased our house with no issues and even showed us what was there. When they fixed the wall it looked like they were never there! They kept my home clean and overall were very efficient. I can’t thank them enough for their work!

Frequently Asked Questions
Water Damage
How Much Does Mold Remediation Cost in Lee County?
Most Lee County homeowners pay between $500 and $6,000 for mold remediation. Costs rise when mold has spread into HVAC ductwork, crawl spaces, or multiple rooms. Barex provides a free on-site assessment so you know the full scope before any work begins.
Does Insurance Cover Mold Remediation in Alabama?
Alabama homeowners policies typically cover mold only when it results from a sudden covered event, like a burst pipe or storm-damaged roof, not from ongoing humidity or a slow leak. Because Lee County summers are long and humid, insurers often look closely at whether moisture was a long-term problem. Barex documents the source and timeline to support your claim.
What Are the Signs of Hidden Mold in an Auburn or Opelika Home?
A musty smell that keeps returning, stained ceilings, peeling paint, or allergy symptoms that ease when you leave the house are common clues. Crawl spaces, bathrooms, and spaces around AC units are frequent hiding spots, and rental properties that sit vacant between semesters can develop mold unnoticed.
Can You Stay in Your Home During Mold Remediation?
Often, yes, when the mold is limited to one room or area and containment barriers keep spores from spreading. If it has reached the HVAC system or several rooms, temporary relocation may be safer. Your Barex technician will confirm after the inspection.
Do You Need Mold Testing Before Remediation?
Not always. Testing helps when you smell mold but can’t find it, or when you need documentation for an insurance claim, a sale, or a landlord or tenant dispute. If the mold is visible and the cause is clear, Barex can usually proceed directly to remediation.
Why Is Mold So Common in Lee County Homes?
East Alabama’s humid subtropical climate keeps moisture levels high for much of the year, and heavy rain, shaded lots, and heavy AC use add to it. Homes with crawl spaces or poor drainage around the foundation are especially prone, and the area’s red clay drains slowly after storms.
