Local knowledge
Mold Clearance Testing for Calamus, IA homes
Mold Clearance Testing in Calamus tends to start the same way mold does across Clinton County: groundwater infiltration through sump pumps and aging foundations during wet weather. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Wheatland, Grand Mound, Dixon and the rest of Calamus pick up the phone.
Mold clearance testing for Calamus is handled the right way. The technicians find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then the area is contained and the mold is removed safely.
Calamus is about 11 miles from De Witt, so a crew can usually be there the same day you call. The methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
