We noticed a smell coming from under the sink and figured it was just old cabinet wood. There was actually a slow leak that had been going for a while. They caught it before it reached the subfloor and were quick about the whole thing.

Our process
Our kitchen mold remediation process in Dixon, IA
Inspect
We check under the sink, behind and under the fridge, and around the dishwasher for signs of moisture and staining.
Trace the leak
We identify whether the source is plumbing, an appliance line, or condensation buildup before removing anything.
Remove
Affected cabinet material, subfloor, or drywall is removed; salvageable surfaces are cleaned and treated.
Dry
Cabinets and flooring are dried thoroughly, since cabinet interiors trap moisture longer than open rooms.

Local knowledge
Kitchen Mold Remediation for Dixon, IA homes
Kitchen Mold Remediation in Dixon tends to start the same way mold does across Scott County: spring thaw and river flooding pushing water into older basements and crawl spaces. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from New Liberty, Calamus, Donahue and the rest of Dixon call us.
We handle kitchen mold remediation for Dixon the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in De Witt, about 25 minutes from our De Witt base, so we can usually reach a Dixon home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

Good to know
Kitchen Mold Remediation in Dixon, IA: common questions
How do I know if my kitchen leak has caused mold?
Warped or swollen cabinet wood, a persistent musty smell near the sink or fridge, or discoloration on cabinet backs are the main signs. If any of these are present, it's worth having the area checked.
Will I need new cabinets?
It depends on the material and how long they were exposed to moisture. Particleboard bases usually need replacement once saturated; solid wood can often be cleaned and treated instead.
Can a refrigerator water line really cause mold?
Yes, a loose or cracked ice-maker line fitting can leak slowly behind or under the fridge for a long time before anyone notices, since that area isn't checked often.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after kitchen mold remediation?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Dixon home.
Do you fix the leak too?
We identify the likely source of moisture, but plumbing or appliance repair itself is outside our scope. We'll tell you clearly what needs fixing so you can get it addressed.
Is it safe to keep cooking in my kitchen during remediation?
In many cases, yes, especially if the affected area is limited to under-sink cabinetry or a small section. We'll walk you through what to expect based on the specific scope of your job.
Is the kitchen mold remediation you do in Dixon to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Scott County.
Do you serve Dixon?
Yes. We cover all of Dixon, including New Liberty, Calamus, Donahue, and the rest of the Dixon area. We are based in De Witt, about 25 minutes from our De Witt base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
