We noticed spotting on the drywall in a corner of our living room and figured it was just surface dirt. It had already gotten into the wall cavity. They mapped out exactly how far it went before cutting anything, which I appreciated.

Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Oxford Junction-area neighbors
Fast to respond and easy to reach. The technicians were tidy, respectful of our home, and explained what caused the growth so it would not come back.
They drove out to Maquoketa the same day we called about the mold. Fantastic service.

Good to know
Wall & Drywall Mold Removal in Oxford Junction, IA: common questions
Can I paint over mold on drywall?
No. Painting over mold traps it and doesn't address the growth inside the drywall paper. It will usually resurface, sometimes worse, and can spread further inside the wall in the meantime.
Is exterior wall mold different from interior wall mold?
The removal process is similar, but exterior wall mold is more often caused by condensation from a temperature difference, while interior wall mold usually points to a plumbing leak or moisture intrusion from an adjacent space.
What if the mold has reached the wall studs?
Lightly affected framing can often be cleaned and treated in place. If it's gone deeper, we'll walk you through what's needed before closing the wall back up.
Do I need to leave my Oxford Junction home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Oxford Junction home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
How much drywall will you remove?
We use moisture readings to define the affected boundary and cut along stud lines, so the removal matches the actual problem rather than an oversized guess.
Will you replace the drywall too?
We handle removal, drying, and can coordinate the drywall rebuild and texture matching as part of the project.
How soon can you start wall & drywall mold removal in Oxford Junction?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Oxford Junction home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Do you serve Oxford Junction?
Yes. We cover all of Oxford Junction, including Wyoming, Toronto, Lost Nation, and the rest of the Oxford Junction area. We are based in Maquoketa, about 25 minutes from our Maquoketa base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
