"This was worth every cent. They truly care about their customers and empathize with the struggles that mold can cause. They are thorough and there for you every step of the way. We were very impressed with the service and Larry Ross, the inspector that they sent out, was top notch, thorough and empathetic. They have truly been the light at the end of a very dark tunnel for me and my family. Highly recommend them to anyone needing mold testing."

"Vince and his team were extremely responsive to my concerns about health complications due to mold. They safely removed the mold using containment, negative air/air scrubbers, removal of the drywall that had the mold on it, and carpet removal all through my basement window (to avoid cross-contamination). They also removed any furniture that I requested to be taken away. The team sprayed the area where the mold was, cleaned the entire basement with hepa vacuums and wiped down the entire basement. Vince responded to my many questions and concerns extremely quickly either by phone or visits to the house. I have reached out to him several times for advice and questions about other areas in the home since the remediation and he always gets back to me. Vince has been a reliable resource. I recommend Iowa Mold Removal to safely remove mold from your home. Vince is a pleasure to work with during a stressful time."

"I would recommend Pure Maintenance of Iowa, LLC over any other mold remediation company I corresponded with most recently and for a number of reasons for which are and should be important to all consumers looking for knowledgeable and integrity based information & guidance relating to a problem that is more prevalent than one may think, in more home types than one may think, to include new construction homes , and a problem for which if not treated could pose health risks to all whom live in a positive tested environment especially one where people whom have allergies and other kinds of predisposed respiratory conditions live. Exposure to certain kinds of mold can make those people more susceptible & more sensitive than most to the irritating effects of mold as well as to the repercussions of certain kinds for which could affect ones health and overall well being. I had the pleasure of meeting Scott Gustofson , one of Pure Maintenanceâ s Lead technicians , during his visit to my home today for which I scheduled for reasons of needing some help understanding and learning the science behind how they are able to identify the potential of future mold and/or current mold presence in my new construction home. This being something I needed from them before I could even think of considering their testing. And they were more than accommodating in doing so. Unexpected to me , the visit today also included a preliminary moisture testing service for which assists Pure maintenance better support their recommendations for either moving forward with the science based testing methods they offer or Ruling out the need for doing so. The time extended for providing education as well as the moisture preliminary testing done today were both fee of charge and both held me , as a potential future customer , 100% free of enduring any cost at all from todayâ s visit and/or in the future if I for whatever reason chose to not go ahead with the testing and subsequent remediation. In my experience customer service like that is just not seen very much at all anymore these days. I also think Scott should be recognized by this company for representing them in such a positive light by having such great knowledge of the products used and in the research that supports their testing and treatment methods and also being able to articulate all in such a genuine and educated way that also makes perfect sense to the customer at the same time. Not an easy skill to master. Thank you for such a great experience and I recommend all who are seeking this kind of service reach out to Pure Maintenance as you wonâ t be disappointed."

"We recently moved into our home and had felt that the air quality was poor and the vents needed to be cleaned. We were experiencing new allergies and chronic congestion. Jami was excellent when explaining the services and pricing, Dillon and team worked very hard to clean our entire system. After the requested cleaning, they showed before and after pictures of each vent/main. Dillon discovered mold in the furnace and in basement vents. The team stayed later than expected to add sanitation and furnace cleaning. All at an extremely reasonable price. We notice a big difference in our air quality in our house! We all feel better and deal with a lot less dusting when cleaning the house."

"I called Cooley Drywall on approximately 9/10/12 to ask for an estimate for ceiling texture repairs. I let him know that we were on a short timeline, and that we needed to have the work done as soon as possible. He came to do an estimate within a couple of days. He seemed very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. We received an estimate immediately.
We ended up hiring another company because the estimate we received was significantly less than the one from Cooley. We would consider hiring Cooley in the future, provided price was something we felt was reasonable.

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Black mold on wood is a very serious issue. Besides compromising the structural integrity of the wood, it poses significant health risks. Stachybotrys chartarum, commonly known as toxic black mold, produces mycotoxins that can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, skin irritations, and other health problems. If left untreated, it can spread rapidly and compromise the structural stability of the affected wooden structures. Immediate remediation and preventive measures are essential to mitigate the risks associated with black mold on wood.

It is not advisable to stay in a house with black mold. Exposure to black mold, or any mold, can lead to health problems, especially for vulnerable individuals such as children, the elderly, or those with weakened immune systems. Black mold produces mycotoxins, which can cause respiratory issues, skin irritation, fatigue, and headaches. If black mold is detected, it is crucial to evacuate the premises, seek professional help for remediation, and only return once the area is thoroughly cleaned and confirmed mold-free by experts.

Mildew and mold are not different—mildew is a specific type of mold and yes, it can become dangerous if left untreated. It would be amazing if we were all biochemists but because we most likely aren’t, it isn’t wise to assume any mold is mildew on sight alone. Harmless mold and toxigenic mold (which can be deadly) look very similar, so if you see any new mold that looks even a little suspect, call a mold professional immediately.

Mold on windows forms due to excess moisture from condensation, poor ventilation, or leaks. Cold glass surfaces can attract condensation, especially in winter. High indoor humidity, lack of airflow, or dust accumulation are also contributors. To prevent mold growth, improve ventilation, regularly clean sills, and consider using a dehumidifier or sealing any leaks.

Turn off the water main immediately. Hire a professional plumber to check on your pipes and make any replacements so you avoid water damage. You don’t want to take any risks with flooding, so it’s best to consult a professional plumber as quickly as possible.
