Rated 4.9 by Princeton-area neighbors
Fast to respond and easy to reach. The technicians were tidy, respectful of our home, and explained what caused the growth so it would not come back.
Good mold removal work overall. Scheduling took a few days longer than expected but the result was worth it.
Our process

Inspect
We assess how far floodwater traveled and which materials absorbed it, room by room.
Contain
We section off affected areas so cleanup work doesn't spread contamination to dry parts of the home.

Water-damaged drywall, flooring, and insulation are removed, since flood water often can't be fully sanitized in place.
Dry
Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers dry the structure to normal moisture levels.

When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Folletts, Le Claire, McCausland and the rest of Princeton call us.
We handle flood & storm mold cleanup for Princeton 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 Eldridge, about 20 minutes from our Eldridge base, so we can usually reach a Princeton home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

Good to know
Flood & Storm Mold Cleanup in Princeton, IA: common questions
How fast should I call after a flood?
As soon as it's safe. Mold risk climbs quickly once materials stay wet, so the sooner cleanup starts, the more of the structure can typically be saved.
Can I stay in my home during flood mold cleanup?
It depends on how much of the home was affected. We'll walk you through what areas need to be closed off during the work.
Will my homeowners policy cover storm-related mold?
Coverage depends on your specific policy and the source of the water. We document everything thoroughly to support your claim.
Is the flood & storm mold cleanup you do in Princeton 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.
Is flood water mold cleanup different from a regular leak?
Yes, flood water can carry contaminants, so porous materials that got wet are often removed rather than dried and reused.
Do you handle basement flooding from spring thaw?
Yes, spring runoff and spring thaw flooding into basements and crawl spaces is common in Eldridge and we handle it regularly.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after flood & storm mold cleanup?
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 Princeton home.
Do you serve Princeton?
Yes. We cover all of Princeton, including Folletts, Le Claire, McCausland, and the rest of the Princeton area. We are based in Eldridge, about 20 minutes from our Eldridge base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
