Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Davenport-area neighbors
We had mold after a slow leak under the sink. They inspected it, explained the plan, and left the space dry and clean.
The mold cleanup itself was great. The only hiccup was a reschedule due to weather.

We handle sewage mold remediation for Davenport 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 15 minutes from our Eldridge base, so we can usually reach a Davenport home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

Good to know
Sewage Mold Remediation in Davenport, IA: common questions
Is a sewage backup more dangerous than a regular water leak?
Yes, sewage contamination carries health hazards a clean water leak doesn't, which is why porous materials are typically removed rather than dried and reused.
Does sewage cause mold faster than clean water?
The combination of moisture and organic contamination can create favorable conditions for mold to develop quickly, so fast response matters.
Will insurance cover a sewage backup?
Coverage depends on your specific policy, sometimes requiring a sewer backup rider. We document the damage thoroughly to support your claim.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after sewage mold remediation?
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 Davenport home.
Should I try to clean up a sewage backup myself?
It's best to avoid direct contact and call a professional crew, since proper protective equipment and disposal practices are important for safety.
What materials do you remove after a sewage backup?
Porous materials like carpet, carpet padding, and drywall that contacted sewage are generally removed and disposed of rather than cleaned in place.
Do I need to leave my Davenport home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Davenport home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Davenport?
Yes. We cover all of Davenport, including Bettendorf, Riverdale, Panorama Park, and the rest of the Davenport area. We are based in Eldridge, about 15 minutes from our Eldridge base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
