We had mold after a slow leak under the sink. They inspected it, explained the plan, and left the space dry and clean.
Great communication from start to finish. The mold report helped a lot with our insurance claim.

Good to know
Mold After Roof Leak in Grand Mound, IA: common questions
How do I know if a ceiling stain has mold behind it?
A musty smell, a stain that keeps growing, or soft spongy drywall are signs mold may have developed behind a roof leak stain.
Can I wait until the roof is repaired to deal with mold?
It's better to have the moisture assessed as soon as you notice it. Waiting gives mold more time to spread through insulation and framing.
Does insurance cover mold from a roof leak?
It depends on your policy and the cause of the leak. We document the damage thoroughly, which helps if you file a claim.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after mold after roof leak?
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 Grand Mound home.
Do you go into the attic to check for mold?
Yes, we inspect the attic space, insulation, and roof decking since that's usually where roof leak moisture starts before it reaches the ceiling.
Will you replace my insulation?
We remove and dispose of insulation that's saturated or mold-affected as part of remediation. Reinsulating is typically handled alongside your roof repair.
Do I need to leave my Grand Mound home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Grand Mound home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Grand Mound?
Yes. We cover all of Grand Mound, including Calamus, Welton, Dixon, and the rest of the Grand Mound area. We are based in De Witt, about 10 minutes from our De Witt base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
