Silver Springs sits where U.S. 50 meets U.S. 95A at about 4,200 feet, the lowest and farthest east of the communities on this site. Two Los Angeles businessmen bought 1,800 acres here in October 1949 and sold lots through Los Angeles newspapers, and the town has grown to about 5,600 people on 77 square miles, with a median age near 49. The Carson River wraps its south and east edges and is dammed there to form Lahontan Reservoir.
The housing is spread out: manufactured homes and site-built ranches on large lots, most from the 1970s through the 2000s, many on wells and septic, some on the Lyon County water system. The river side of town is flat floodplain, and when the Carson ran high in January 1997, at New Year's 2006, and in February 2017, the water that came through Dayton came here next, slower and wider.
This site connects Silver Springs homeowners with an independent local mold provider. You call, describe what you see or smell, and the provider decides what to bring.
A home on the low ground near the river that has never been opened up below the floor since a high-water year is crawl space mold remediation waiting to be found. On the dry side, it is the usual plumbing: a frozen line or a water heater, which is mold removal in the wall and, if it ran through several rooms, whole-home mold remediation.
Lahontan State Recreation Area holds the reservoir and its 69 miles of shoreline on the east edge of town, and the reservoir's level in spring says a lot about how much water the river is carrying past the low-lying homes upstream. Nine miles south, Fort Churchill State Historic Park keeps the adobe ruins of the 1860 fort that guarded the Pony Express route through the same river bottom.
Rebuild permits go through Lyon County in Yerington.

Containment, negative air, and HEPA filtration while wet drywall, trim, and insulation come out, then cleaning and drying down to the framing.
Dark growth on a wet wall or crawl space beam, handled under full containment. Color does not name the species, and the process is the same.
Room-by-room containment and removal after a burst pipe, a long roof leak, or a house that sat closed and wet through a Carson City winter.
Joists, subfloor, and insulation under the house cleaned or removed, with the snowmelt, plumbing, or drainage source fixed before it is closed up.
Growth in ceilings, drywall, and behind vanities from steam and slow leaks, the most common first call from older Carson City homes.
Roof-deck and rafter mold from ice dams, swamp cooler lines, and warm indoor air hitting a cold roof, cleaned and the cause corrected.
Drywall, baseboard, subfloor, and cabinet bottoms put back after removal, only once the framing reads dry and the leak is stopped.
Finding and removing the damp material behind a musty smell that outlasted cleaning, then treating surfaces and air so it stays gone.
