When mold appears, the clock starts immediately. Given the right moisture conditions, mold colonizes new surfaces within 24 to 48 hours and spreads through wall cavities, subfloor assemblies, and HVAC ductwork before most people realize the problem has grown. Lovett Restoration responds fast, with thorough inspection, air quality sampling, and moisture mapping that define the true scope before a single piece of material is disturbed. We specialize strictly in restoration and remediation, not structural rebuilds, which means our entire operation is focused on stopping the damage, containing it, and clearing the site. We serve both residential homeowners and commercial property managers across the Portland area.
Three integrated service pillars, inspect, contain, remediate, executed in sequence for total site clearance.
Before removal begins, we conduct a thorough visual analysis to identify visible growth and structural risks. We then perform targeted moisture testing to locate hidden water sources behind walls and under flooring, followed by comprehensive indoor air quality sampling, even in complex commercial HVAC systems and enclosed residential cavities.
To prevent mold spores from escaping during removal, we deploy strict containment protocols, heavy-duty physical barriers and negative air pressure systems that actively pull contaminated air into our filtration units. We manage dust, debris, and ventilation throughout so unaffected areas of your property stay fully operational and safe.
Once the area is fully contained, our crews safely extract the compromised materials and remove the mold. We follow with specialized water extraction, commercial-grade drying and dehumidifying, then apply professional cleaning and sanitation protocols to remaining surfaces, eliminating the hazard at its source and restoring safe indoor air quality.
Executed with Six Sigma precision and the Toyota Production System, a structured, repeatable protocol that stops mold damage fast and prepares your property for recovery.
We respond promptly to your call and perform a thorough visual inspection of vulnerable areas to determine the immediate scope of the moisture and mold issue. We communicate clearly with you from the moment we step on site.
Using specialized diagnostic equipment, we conduct deep moisture testing and air quality sampling. This identifies hidden hazards, maps the exact spread of moisture, and establishes a baseline for the remediation work required.
Before any building materials are disturbed, we seal the affected area with physical barriers and establish negative air pressure systems to guarantee spores do not travel into occupied or clean spaces.
Our team safely extracts the unsalvageable, mold-infested materials. Because we specialize exclusively in restoration, our focus is entirely on removing the hazard and stopping the damage, we will never upsell rebuild services.
Portland properties run a wide range. Older eastside crawlspace homes often lack modern vapor barriers, and concrete multifamily buildings with shared HVAC ductwork can spread a mold problem across multiple units before anyone notices. Our NE 42nd Ave headquarters puts crews on site across the metro in 20 to 30 minutes. Every job follows IICRC S520 standards, and our Oregon CCB #125507 license means property managers have the documented, compliance-ready clearance record they need to meet ORS 90 multifamily habitability requirements. Founded in 1997 by Dale Lovett with one excavator and a dump truck, Lovett has grown into a four-division operation under CEO Gary Cosmer (Partner since 2018). Every job runs on Lean, Toyota Production System, and Six Sigma principles. All restoration services are backed by our 1-year workmanship warranty.

“Used Lovett for water damage restoration after a previous contractor did not reinstall my toilet properly. It leaked for three months before being discovered through black mold and a bad ceiling on the lower level. Best part was their professionalism and positive attitude. Always kept me informed and showed up on time. Everyone was thorough.”
Homeowner, Portland Metro
“Daniel Chesney and his team did an incredible job on mitigation for our bathroom leak. They responded ASAP, walked us through the entire process, and were super respectful and clean with our home. Our family had to travel during drying and the team took care of everything so we could leave with peace of mind.”
Homeowner, Portland, OR
“My frostproof hose bib froze and burst over the weekend, but I didn’t realize it for a couple of days when I felt a wet area in my carpet. Lovett had Cody out to replace the burst pipe, and Daniel and Steve from the Remediation Team were thorough and efficient. They were super great guys, smiles and a great attitude every day.”
Homeowner, Portland Metro
Common questions from property managers and facility directors.
No. Lovett Restoration specializes exclusively in restoration and remediation. Our job is to stop the damage, extract the mold, and fully sanitize the area. Once the space is clean, dry, and safe, you can bring in a dedicated contractor to perform the structural repairs.
We use advanced containment solutions, including heavy-duty physical barriers and negative air pressure systems. This ensures that any mold spores disturbed during the removal process are vented safely and do not enter your HVAC system or clean rooms.
The timeline depends on the scope of the damage. However, our use of Lean practices and the Toyota Production System ensures we work with maximum efficiency to minimize downtime and site impact. We will provide a clear timeline after our initial moisture and visual testing.
Yes. We work extensively in the commercial, multifamily, industrial, hospitality, and municipal sectors, alongside residential homeowners. We understand the specific compliance and liability needs of property managers and facility directors.
We provide professional mold remediation throughout the Portland Metropolitan and Vancouver, Washington area. This includes Beaverton, Tigard, Lake Oswego, Hillsboro, Gresham, Salem, Eugene, and surrounding cities across Oregon and SW Washington.
Don’t let mold compromise the safety and value of your property. Lovett Restoration’s certified crews are on call 24/7 to inspect, contain, and remediate, fast.
