Local knowledge
Residential Mold Remediation for La Motte, IA homes
Residential Mold Remediation in La Motte tends to start the same way mold does across Jackson County: roof and plumbing leaks in La Motte homes that feed hidden mold for months before anyone notices. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Zwingle, Cottonville, Otter Creek and the rest of La Motte call us.
We handle residential mold remediation for La Motte 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 La Motte home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
