Why Calamus homes get mold

Mold in Calamus rarely announces itself. It starts where Iowa moisture collects, in basements, crawl spaces, and behind bathroom tile, and spreads before anyone sees it.

The trigger is almost always moisture, whether from condensation, a hidden leak, or groundwater after a wet spell. Left alone, mold moves from one damp surface to the next.

The remediation crew inspects the home, contains the affected area under negative air, removes the mold, and dries the structure until moisture readings return to normal. Call to get a Calamus visit on the schedule.

• Humid continental summers that keep indoor moisture high for months at a time
• Sump pumps and aging foundations that let groundwater seep in during wet spells
• Spring thaw and river flooding pushing water into older basements and crawl spaces
• Bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms in Calamus where everyday humidity has nowhere to go

Many Calamus homes also run a radon mitigation system, and those fans and pipes sit right where basement and crawl-space mold tends to start. The technicians work carefully around them, so the mold is cleared without disturbing your mitigation.

Whatever started it, the moisture source gets found first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind. The methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
