Professional Mold Removal - Done the Right Way, Step by Step
Each stage is performed by the independent remediation contractor the call reaches, following industry standards.
-
Step 1: Assessment
An assessor identifies the presence of mold, determines how far the growth extends, and locates the source of moisture.
-
Step 2: Containment
Protective barriers and negative air pressure are established to prevent spores from spreading into unaffected areas.
-
Step 3: Removal
Porous materials that cannot be safely cleaned are removed — including drywall past the moisture line, insulation, carpet pad, and damaged cabinet bases.
-
Step 4: Drying
Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers return the structure to a dry standard, with moisture readings taken from the material itself rather than the surface.
What drives moisture problems in Kenney
Independent local pros provide mold removal services in Kenney and the surrounding area, wherever in town the call comes from. This is a De Witt County grain village on the central prairie, where the housing dates to 1945 and virtually every home was standing before 1990, most on cellars dug into deep black prairie soil.
Housing stock
Close to nine in ten of the housing here predates 1990 — 98.7 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1945. Prewar frame houses on brick and rubble cellars along a few village streets, a median year of 1945, and almost every unit standing before 1990.
Climate and water risk
Of the 40.8 inches that arrive in an average year, 4.86 fall in May; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 6.8 miles away at CLINTON 1SSW. May leads at 4.86 inches of a 40.8 inch year, arriving as spring storms on prairie soil that holds water like a sponge. The cellars here were dug into that soil eighty years ago with brick or rubble walls and no drain at all, and the surrounding farmland is tiled to move water off the fields, so a wet May puts the whole village on a shallow water table that the old walls were never built to hold back.
Common moisture and mold problems in Kenney
- Prewar brick and rubble cellar walls with no footing drain, standing in prairie soil that saturates every May
- Deep black prairie topsoil holding spring rain for weeks and keeping cellar floors damp into June
- Farm field tile from the surrounding sections discharging toward the village on the lowest ground
- Old cisterns and abandoned wells beside houses filling with runoff and seeping into the cellar wall

Frequently asked questions
Our cellar has brick walls from the 1920s. Can they be made dry?
Drier, and the approach differs from a modern basement. Brick laid in lime mortar breathes, and on prairie soil that stays saturated through spring it will always take some moisture from the ground. What can change is how much water reaches the wall: roof water carried well away, grade rebuilt to fall from the house, and any old cistern or well beside the foundation filled or capped. The wall then contends with the soil alone, not the roof and yard.
The village sits in the middle of farm fields. Does that affect the water under the houses?
It does, through the field tile. Farmland around the village is drained by buried tile that moves water off the fields quickly, and where those lines discharge near the village edge they raise the shallow water table on the lowest lots. A cellar on that side of town can be wet from tile discharge in May while the rain itself has stopped. The water is coming from the section next door rather than from the sky.
There is a filled-in cistern next to the foundation. Is it a problem now?
Often, yes. Many prewar houses here had a brick cistern beside the wall to catch roof water, and when they went out of use they were filled with whatever was on hand. That fill is looser than the surrounding prairie soil, so it collects rain and holds it against the cellar wall like a sponge pressed to the brick. If one cellar wall is consistently wetter and the old cistern is on that side, the two are connected.
