Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Oxford Junction, IA homes
Mold Inspection in Oxford Junction tends to start the same way mold does across Jones 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 Wyoming, Toronto, Lost Nation and the rest of Oxford Junction call us.
We handle mold inspection for Oxford Junction 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 Maquoketa, about 25 minutes from our Maquoketa base, so we can usually reach a Oxford Junction home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
