We were about to finish our basement and wanted it checked first given the age of the house. The inspection found a small moisture issue near the foundation we wouldn't have noticed, and we got it handled before it became a bigger problem.

Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Givin-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 found black mold behind our bathroom wall and had it removed the same week. Clean, fast, and professional.

Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Givin, IA homes
Mold Inspection in Givin tends to start the same way mold does across Mahaska County: bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms in Givin where everyday humidity has nowhere to go. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Beacon, Lakonta, Eddyville and the rest of Givin call us.
We handle mold inspection for Givin 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 Oskaloosa, about 10 minutes from our Oskaloosa base, so we can usually reach a Givin home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
