"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."

Although we ran into a few communication and scheduling challenges along the way, they were always courteous and professional in making things right and following up to ensure the work was done and we were satisfied. Overall great experience and would recommend them to anyone who s dealing with mold and needs professional assistance."

"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

You can do more with a home test kit than just check your water’s hardness. There are a few types of tests. The first one is simple and involves a strip that checks your water’s pH balance. The second and more thorough option is a master test kit, which shows your pH plus the presence of nitrite, ammonia, and other elements through color shades. Unsurprisingly, the most thorough test is one you send to a proper lab for analysis

Yes, brown spots on a ceiling are usually caused by water leaks and can lead to mold growth, especially if you don’t correct the underlying problem. Ongoing water leaks and moisture issues will almost always result in mold growth, especially if you live in a warm climate. Mold is a health hazard, so get the root problem fixed quickly, clean it, and encapsulate the area to avoid mold formation.

Homes should be checked for mold annually, especially if you live in an area with high humidity or frequent rainfall. Inspections are crucial following flooding, roof leaks, or plumbing issues. More frequent checks are necessary if your home has a history of mold problems or water damage. Regular inspections help detect mold early, preventing costly remediation and minimizing health risks, especially in moisture-prone areas such as basements and bathrooms.

No, not all black mold is toxic. Although people often refer to stachybotrys chartarum as toxic black mold, there is little evidence that any one type of black mold has more toxicity than another. People who have an allergy to black mold would be more likely to have a dangerous reaction after inhaling it. Long-term exposure to black mold spores can lead to severe infection and disease. Some people only have minor health problems after black mold exposure. Ultimately, toxicity is rare with any kind of mold, but it is possible, so always take the appropriate precautions.

Yes, mold can build up in a dehumidifier if not properly emptied and clean. Clean it every few weeks by removing dirty water, scrubbing with a mild dish soap, and allowing it to fully dry before reassembling.
