Mold Remediation & Testing in Southeast South Dakota
When you have moisture intrusion into your home or business, mold can grow. Most indoor molds will begin to grow (under normal conditions) within 72 hours of materials becoming wet. Most people first notice mold by its musty odor.
Mold & Indoor Air Quality Testing
Not sure if you have mold? We take air samples and tell you what's in your indoor air, so you know exactly what you're dealing with before any work starts.
Containment
We seal off the affected area before any removal begins, so mold spores don't spread to the rest of your home or business during cleanup.
Removal of Affected Materials
Drywall, carpet, insulation and other porous materials that can't be saved are carefully removed and bagged, and the surfaces that remain are cleaned and treated.
Fixing the Moisture Source
Mold always comes back to moisture. We find the source, whether it's a leak, past flooding or high humidity, and dry the structure so the mold doesn't return.
Homes, Rentals and Businesses
From a musty basement to a commercial building, we handle mold in houses, apartments, offices, schools and city buildings across southeast South Dakota.
IICRC-Trained Technicians
Our technicians are trained to IICRC standards, the industry's benchmark for mold remediation. Louie's has been a family-owned business in Vermillion since 1966.
Mold Questions
How do I know if I have mold?
A musty smell, visible spots on walls or ceilings, past water damage, or allergy symptoms that ease up when you leave the house are common signs. Air testing tells you for sure.
Can I clean mold myself?
Small spots on hard surfaces can often be cleaned, but mold in drywall, carpet or insulation usually has to be removed. Disturbing it without containment can spread spores through your home.
Does insurance cover mold removal?
It usually depends on the cause. Mold from a sudden, covered water loss is often included, while mold from a long-term leak or humidity usually isn't. We document the job for your claim either way.
How long does mold remediation take?
Most home jobs take one to five days, depending on how much material has to be removed and dried. You'll get a timeline along with your free quote.
