Wyoming sits just south and southwest of Grand Rapids and is the second-largest city in Kent County. Much of it was built out in the decades after World War II, so a lot of homes are ranch and bungalow houses with full basements, many of them finished at some point since.
Finished basements are where we see most Wyoming mold. Paneling, drywall and carpet laid over concrete trap moisture, and a single sump pump failure during a spring storm can soak the bottom of every wall. Buck Creek and Plaster Creek both run through parts of the city, and homes on low ground near them see more water.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Wyoming?
Yes, from the Grand Rapids border south toward Byron Center and west toward Grandville.
My finished basement smells but looks fine. What now?
That usually means moisture or mold behind the drywall or under the carpet. An inspection with a moisture meter can find it without tearing everything out.
Can the work be done while we live here?
Usually yes. The work area is sealed off with plastic and kept under negative pressure so spores don't spread.
