Mold removal in Vegas Heights

Mold and Leak Help in Vegas Heights starts with the water. The Vegas Heights tract was platted in February 1929, with growth hoped for from Boulder Dam construction, though building came slower than planned1. That slow build out means homes of very different ages sit side by side, each with its own plumbing history.
