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.

Local knowledge
Mold Clearance Testing for Princeton, IA homes
Mold Clearance Testing in Princeton 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 Folletts, Le Claire, McCausland and the rest of Princeton call us.
We handle mold clearance testing 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.

It means additional work is needed in a specific area before retesting. We'll identify exactly what needs attention.

We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Princeton home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
How soon after remediation can clearance testing happen?
We wait for the appropriate post-remediation period so the space and any treatments have settled before sampling, which gives more reliable results.
Do you use the same lab for clearance as for initial testing?
We use an independent laboratory for clearance sampling so the results are objective and not tied to the remediation work itself.
