Mold Remediation in Springfield: local conditions

Springfield, MO sits on highly expansive clay and has a humid continental climate near 40" of rain a year with heavy spring storms.

In practical terms, expansive clay is one of the Midwest's leading causes of foundation movement — which is exactly why mold remediation is a common need here.
