Service Areas
Have a Mold Problem?
Any home or commercial property can quickly become infested with mold if a source of water is present. Mold can spread throughout a property in as little as 48 hours. Since mold can produce allergens and irritants, you should call us to come out for a free inspection of your Ames area home or commercial business if you suspect you have a mold problem. Whatever you do, don't try and fix the problem yourself, as this can make it much worse.
You can expect us to be honest about what does or does not need to be done about your situation. If mold is found, you can trust us to give you the best service in the industry. We are highly trained through the SERVPRO HeroReady Training Program and certified by the IICRC in applied microbial remediation.

What Is the Mold Remediation Process?
Emergency Contact
The mold cleanup and restoration process begins when you call us. Our specialist will ask a series of questions to help us determine the necessary equipment, resources, and personnel needed for you and your home.
Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
Our professionals will carefully inspect your property for visible signs of mold. Using a variety of technologies, we can detect mold and locate any hidden water sources so the mold will not return once the area is cleaned and the mold removal process has been completed.
Mold Containment
We use various containment procedures to prevent the spread and cross-contamination of mold. All fans and heating and cooling systems will be turned off to prevent the spread as our professionals work to mitigate your mold problem.
Air Filtration
Our specialized filtration equipment allows our professionals to capture microscopic mold spores out of the air. We utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process.
Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials
We use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to treat mold colonies. When necessary to remediate heavy mold growth, our mold removal process includes the removal and disposal of mold-infested porous materials such as carpeting, drywall, and insulation.
Cleaning
Our professionals clean the structural elements that were infected by mold such as flooring, framing, fixtures, HVAC and mechanical systems. We will also work to improve the indoor air quality (IAQ) of the space. Other items may also require extra attention after a mold infestation, including curtains, décor and important documents.
Restoration
Depending on the level of mold damage, drywall, subfloors, and other building materials may be removed. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet. It may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in your home.

Residential Mold Removal
Mold can come from many sources, including on clothing, pets, through open doors and windows, and because of excessive moisture, often in the aftermath of water damage. When it enters your home and begins to cause mold problems, it’s in your best interest to have professional mold remediation performed to help ensure safety and effectiveness.
Our professionals are equipped to assess the mold and provide remediation services, using advanced equipment and techniques to help ensure its source is located, and the mold is remediated. Given its potential to cause allergens and irritants that may cause health effects, our services will help maintain your peace of mind while our professionals work to clean up the mold as quickly as possible.

Commercial Mold Remediation
Mold can enter your business in a variety of ways. Once spotted, it’s important you contact a cleanup and restoration company like SERVPRO as soon as possible. Given its ability to spread in 72 hours or less, and the possibility of allergens and irritants that may cause health effects as a result, time is of the essence when mold spreads in your business or commercial property.
We understand the urgency of returning your business to functioning condition, given that every hour of closed business is an hour of lost production and revenue. Take the necessary steps to help protect your customers, employees, and the health of your business by having our team assess and remediate any mold damage that may have grown in your commercial space.
What our
customers are saying
Jeff was very well-versed on mold and proper procedures on how to deal with it. He was helpful and did everything he said, on-time, and on-budget. He will be my go-to-guy if I ever need services like this again.
SERVPRO of Ames did a great job when they came to do my cleaning service. They were very professional and spent hours cleaning up our basement from flooding. They used a hot water machine to get the caked-on dirt out easily. I trusted them being alone in my home once I left. I would, and already have, recommended SERVPRO of Ames to my family and friends!
SERVPRO of Ames was very responsive to my needs. I appreciated their quick communication. They were able to come immediately, they were reasonably priced, the technicians gave great explanations, and they completed the job quickly. I would highly recommend SERVPRO of Ames because of their quick, courteous, and convenient service.
I live in Lehigh and had flood damage the middle of March. I first called SERVPRO in Fort Dodge. I didn't receive a callback. After a month of waiting, I decided to call the Ames SERVPRO! I am extremely pleased with the quick response, the friendly and professional service and a job well done! I felt they exceeded all expectations! I highly recommend all of the people at SERVPRO in Ames!!!!
Don and Carrie came over and checked out my attic after a suspected raccoon break-in. They were very professional even when a bunch of blown-in insulation rained down on them while opening the hatch to the attic. Carrie checked the attic and took pictures. Don told me that the insulation was undisturbed and looked clean. He told me that no clean-up work was required. Before leaving, they cleaned up the insulation that came down. This was a very good experience. I recommend SERVPRO and would call them again. (from posted Google review)
Jeff & his team completed the restoration of our brand new home. The main floor & basement sustained water damage due to plumber's error. Contractor was interested in only patch work. Filed a claim through our homeowners insurance & SERVPRO did the rest. Extremely conscientious team, communicated options & outlined timeline. Communicated with insurance adjuster & kept us informed. They went above & beyond by sending in a cleaning crew in the middle of the project so I could complete a medically required in-home infusion!! As in any building/restoration project scheduling flexibility is a must. We are extremely happy with the plumber, drywall & painter sub contractors provided through SERVPRO, too. Highly recommend SERVPRO of Ames IA.
Fast and reliable service. It was like they were never here! Great customer service. Sando and his crew did a great job of communicating with myself and my insurance company and handling the claim quickly!
I found the SERVPRO crew courteous, polite, and helpful throughout the duration of the job. Have a person in charge of inspecting after the job is done.
I never knew that such a company was here in Ames; but when I needed them they were there. Very professional, and checked everything, had such a positive attitude and kept us updated on the clean up. It was unfortunate that we needed them; but thankful they were able to come and clean up; and check everything out.
