Mold Treatment in KS, MO & IA

Improve Indoor Air Quality
With Mold Treatment

A damp basement or crawl space doesn’t just smell musty. It affects the air throughout your home. Dry Basement® treats mold at the source with targeted solutions for basements and crawl spaces in Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa. Since 1975, our team has focused on finding why mold formed, fixing the moisture problem, and removing growth safely.

The Harmful Effects of Mold

Mold spreads by releasing microscopic spores. Those spores ride the air through your home, irritating noses, throats, and lungs, especially for children, older adults, and anyone with asthma or allergies. Even if you don’t see visible growth, that stale, earthy smell is a warning sign that spores are present.

Beyond health, mold signals a moisture problem. Persistent dampness can weaken wood framing, damage insulation, and reduce indoor air quality. Over time, moisture and mold together can drive up energy bills, ruin stored items, and make lower levels of your home unusable.

If you’re noticing musty odors, visible spots on walls or joists, or lingering allergies, we’ll help you restore clean, healthy air.

Dry Basement®
Mold Removal & Treatment

Mold treatment is two parts: remove existing growth and control the moisture that feeds it. We tailor the approach to the space and the severity, focusing on safe removal and lasting prevention.

For light to moderate growth, we typically use targeted cleaning, HEPA filtration, and antimicrobial treatments to address affected surfaces. When materials are salvageable, this restores the area without unnecessary tear-out.

For heavier contamination, options can include limited material removal, localized containment to protect clean areas, and air scrubbing to capture spores. If the basement or crawl space stays damp, we pair treatment with moisture control.

To keep conditions stable long-term, we may recommend drainage adjustments, crawl space encapsulation, improved ventilation, or dehumidification. The goal is simple: clean surfaces now, dry conditions going forward.

Our Mold
Removal Process

Discovering mold in your home can feel overwhelming. Likewise, dealing with mold can be daunting. That’s why working with local experts for mold removal is the way to go. Take a look at our process and how we make mold treatment easy:

Inspect and assess

We confirm mold presence, measure humidity, and document all affected areas. We also note how and where moisture is getting in or lingering.
Find the source

We identify the cause, groundwater seepage, plumbing leaks, poor ventilation, or a damp crawl space, and prioritize stopping it first.
Contain and protect

We set containment as needed, use negative air/HEPA filtration, and protect clean areas to prevent spore spread during work.
Remove and clean

We perform HEPA vacuuming, surface cleaning, and targeted antimicrobial application. When necessary, we remove damaged materials that can’t be salvaged.
Correct moisture conditions

We address contributing issues with solutions like drainage adjustments, crawl space encapsulation, improved ventilation, or dehumidification.
Walkthrough and maintenance

We recheck humidity and work areas, walk you through what was completed, share humidity targets, and provide simple maintenance steps to keep conditions dry.

FAQs About Mold Removal & Treatment

Does mold treatment fix the moisture problem too?

Treatment removes growth, but long-term success requires moisture control. We pair cleaning with solutions like drainage improvements, encapsulation, and dehumidification as needed.

Can I just paint over mold?

No. Paint doesn’t remove mold or solve humidity. In many cases, mold will bleed through coatings. Proper cleaning and moisture correction come first.

How long does mold removal take?

Most projects take one to three days depending on the size of the affected area, access, and any needed moisture-control upgrades. We’ll provide a clear schedule before work begins.

Will mold come back?

Not if conditions stay dry. Our goal is to correct humidity and water sources so treated areas remain clean. We’ll advise on maintaining safe humidity levels and periodic checks.
