Reviews

Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
Clear pricing, no surprises. The mold remediation took exactly as long as they said it would.
Our process
Our flood & storm mold cleanup process in Charlotte, IA
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.
Remove
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.

Good to know
Flood & Storm Mold Cleanup in Charlotte, 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.
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 Charlotte home.
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 Maquoketa and we handle it regularly.
Is the flood & storm mold cleanup you do in Charlotte to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Clinton County.
Do you serve Charlotte?
Yes. We cover all of Charlotte, including Petersville, Goose Lake, Riggs, and the rest of the Charlotte area. We are based in Maquoketa, about 20 minutes from our Maquoketa base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
