Hazardous Waste Removal Inver Grove Heights, MN
Patriot Building Solutions provides certified hazardous waste removal in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota and across the Inver Grove Heights area. Mold remediation, lead paint, biohazard cleanup, and chemical waste, handled by a HAZMAT-certified crew led by Marine Corps veteran Israel Martinez. Safe containment, compliant removal, and thorough decontamination for residential and commercial properties.
Hazardous Materials We Handle Safely
Not every cleaning company can touch hazardous materials. Patriot Building Solutions carries HAZMAT and First Responder certifications, credentials earned through military training and continued professional education. Here is what we handle for Inver Grove Heights homeowners, landlords, and commercial property managers.
Mold Remediation
Black mold, white mold, green mold, species does not matter when it is growing inside your walls, basement, or crawl space. We identify the source of moisture, contain the affected area, remove contaminated materials, and treat surfaces to prevent regrowth. Minnesota basements are especially prone to mold after spring snowmelt and summer humidity.
Lead Paint Removal
Homes built before 1978 in Inver Grove Heights and across Dakota County often contain lead-based paint. Disturbing it during renovation or normal wear creates toxic dust that affects children and adults. We follow EPA RRP protocols for containment, removal, and disposal of lead-contaminated materials.
Biohazard Cleanup
Blood, bodily fluids, sewage backups, animal waste, and other biological hazards require specialized handling. Standard cleaning products and methods are not sufficient. We use hospital-grade disinfectants, proper PPE, and certified disposal methods to restore affected spaces safely.
Chemical Waste
Industrial solvents, cleaning agents, fuel spills, and other chemical contaminants in residential garages, commercial facilities, or construction sites. We handle containment and removal following Minnesota Pollution Control Agency guidelines. Proper disposal documentation provided for every job.
Post-Flood & Storm Debris
After flooding in Inver Grove Heights, whether from Mississippi River overflow, sewer backup, or storm damage, standing water creates hazardous conditions fast. Contaminated insulation, drywall, carpet, and personal property all require hazardous material handling when mixed with sewage or floodwater.
Asbestos-Adjacent Cleanup
While asbestos abatement requires specialized licensing, we handle the cleanup surrounding asbestos removal projects. Once a licensed abatement team clears the material, Patriot Building Solutions performs the final decontamination, air quality verification support, and restoration cleaning of the affected area.
Same crew. Every visit.

Mold Remediation for Inver Grove Heights Homes
Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snowfall, and humid summers make the Inver Grove Heights one of the most mold-prone regions in the Midwest. Inver Grove Heights properties, especially older homes near the river bluffs, face elevated risk every spring and fall.
Basement & Crawl Space Mold
Most Inver Grove Heights homes have basements. When foundation walls crack or sump pumps fail, moisture seeps in and mold colonizes within 24 to 48 hours. We address the mold and the moisture source, removing contaminated drywall, insulation, and framing as needed, then treating the structure with antimicrobial agents to stop regrowth.
Attic & Roof Mold
Poor attic ventilation traps warm moist air against cold roof sheathing during Minnesota winters. Ice dams compound the problem. By the time you see dark stains on the plywood, the mold colony has been growing for months. We remove affected sheathing, treat remaining surfaces, and recommend ventilation improvements to prevent recurrence.
Bathroom & Kitchen Mold
Persistent moisture around showers, tubs, and sinks feeds mold behind tiles, under vanities, and inside walls. Surface mold is the visible symptom, the real problem is behind the wall. We open affected areas, remove compromised material, treat the framing and subfloor, and ensure proper drying before restoration.
HAZMAT-Certified Removal Process
Every hazardous waste removal job follows a structured protocol. No shortcuts, no guesswork. The same discipline Israel brought from the Marine Corps applies to every project.
Assessment
On-site inspection to identify all hazardous materials, assess the scope of contamination, document affected areas, and determine the correct removal protocol. We explain the findings, the risks, and the plan before any work begins.
Containment
Affected areas are sealed with polyethylene sheeting and negative air pressure to prevent cross-contamination. HEPA filtration units run continuously during the removal process. Adjacent spaces, HVAC systems, and personal property are protected.
Removal
Contaminated materials are removed following OSHA and EPA protocols. Mold-damaged drywall and insulation are cut out and bagged. Lead debris is HEPA-vacuumed and wet-scraped. Biohazard materials are treated with hospital-grade disinfectants. All waste is transported in approved containers for compliant disposal.
Verification
Post-removal inspection confirms all hazardous material has been addressed. Surfaces are treated with antimicrobial agents where applicable. We document the completed work, provide before-and-after photos, and give you a clear report of what was done and what to monitor going forward.
HAZMAT Credentials That Mean Something
Most cleaning companies cannot legally handle hazardous materials. Patriot Building Solutions can, because owner Israel Martinez earned his HAZMAT certification and First Responder training during active duty in the United States Marine Corps. That is not a weekend seminar. That is years of training in chemical, biological, and radiological hazard response at the highest level.
Combined with Six Sigma process certification, every hazardous waste removal job follows a disciplined, documented protocol. No improvisation. No guesswork. The same precision that earned Israel the rank of E5 faster than anyone in his unit now protects your family, your tenants, or your employees from hazardous exposure in Inver Grove Heights and across Dakota County.
We do not chase complaints. We check in before they happen. That is how a cleaning company keeps 99.5 percent of its clients for three years running.

Hazardous Waste Removal FAQs
Are your crews certified to handle hazardous materials?
Yes. Owner Israel Martinez holds active HAZMAT and First Responder certifications earned during his service in the United States Marine Corps. He also holds Six Sigma process certification. Every crew member is trained in proper PPE usage, containment procedures, and compliant disposal methods. This is not a side service we added, it is a core capability built on military-grade training.
How do I know if I have mold in my Inver Grove Heights home?
Common signs include a persistent musty smell, visible dark spots on walls or ceilings, water stains, peeling paint or wallpaper, and increased allergy symptoms among household members. Minnesota basements are particularly susceptible after snowmelt and heavy rain. If you suspect mold, do not disturb it, call (651) 412-3830 for a professional assessment. Disturbing mold without proper containment spreads spores throughout the home.
What does hazardous waste removal cost?
Cost depends on the type of hazardous material, the extent of contamination, accessibility of the affected area, and disposal requirements. Mold remediation for a single basement wall differs significantly from a whole-house lead paint removal project. We provide free on-site assessments and detailed written quotes before any work begins. Request a quote or call us directly to schedule an inspection.
How long does mold remediation take?
A contained mold issue, such as a single bathroom wall or a small section of basement, typically takes one to two days. Larger projects involving multiple rooms, HVAC contamination, or structural damage can take three to five days. We never rush the containment or verification phases. Your timeline depends on the scope, and we will give you an honest quote after the initial assessment.
Do you handle asbestos removal?
Asbestos abatement in Minnesota requires specialized licensing beyond HAZMAT certification. We do not perform primary asbestos removal. However, we work alongside licensed abatement teams and handle all post-abatement cleanup, decontamination, HEPA vacuuming, surface treatment, and final inspection support. If you need a full asbestos removal referral in Inver Grove Heights, we can connect you with licensed partners.
Is there a guarantee on your hazardous waste removal work?
Patriot Building Solutions backs every service with a no-worries money-back guarantee. If the hazardous material returns within the warranty period due to our work, we come back and address it at no additional cost. For mold remediation specifically, our treatment includes antimicrobial agents that inhibit regrowth, but we also address the moisture source, because mold always comes back if the water problem is not solved. Call (651) 412-3830 to discuss your specific situation.
