If you see mold right now

Three things to do while you wait

Stop the moisture

Shut off any active leak and wipe up standing water. Mold needs moisture to spread, so cutting the water source first slows it down.

Keep the area closed

Avoid disturbing or scrubbing heavy growth. Close doors to the room so spores are not spread through the rest of the home.

Local knowledge

Why La Motte homes get mold

La Motte homeowners know Iowa weather is hard on houses. Moisture finds its way into basements and crawl spaces across Jackson County, and mold follows close behind.

Air conditioning condensation, a slow plumbing leak, or water pushed toward the foundation after heavy rain all leave the damp conditions mold needs. Once a wall or subfloor stays wet, growth takes hold fast.

Our crew inspects La Motte homes, contains the affected area under negative air, removes the mold, and dries the structure until readings return to normal.

  • Spring thaw and river flooding pushing water into older basements and crawl spaces
  • Central air conditioning condensation feeding mold on cool basement walls
  • Humid continental summers that keep indoor moisture high for months at a time
  • Roof and plumbing leaks in La Motte homes that feed hidden mold for months before anyone notices

Many La Motte homes also run a radon mitigation system, and those fans and pipes sit right where basement and crawl-space mold tends to start. Our crew works carefully around them so we clear the mold without disturbing your mitigation.

Whatever started it, we find the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
