Local knowledge
Mold Testing for Wright, IA homes
Mold Testing in Wright tends to start the same way mold does across Mahaska County: humid continental summers that keep indoor moisture high for months at a time. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Exeelsior, Fremont, University Park and the rest of Wright call us.
We handle mold testing for Wright 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 Wright home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
