Call Now (833) 502-4258Mold after flooding
Floodwater in Iowa leaves materials soaked and contaminated. Porous materials that stayed wet are usually removed, because cleaning alone does not reliably stop mold inside them.
Damp basements
Basements in Iowa are prone to dampness from seepage and condensation, and finished basements hide mold behind drywall and under carpet.
Recent history in Iowa
The 2008 floods inundated much of downtown Cedar Rapids. Events like these are why mold remediation needs fast, thorough work and careful documentation for insurance.
