Restoration 1 of Eastern Iowa is celebrating a major milestone — 10 years of serving homeowners, businesses, and communities throughout Eastern Iowa.

In September 2016, Restoration 1 of Eastern Iowa officially opened its doors. What began with a small team, a couple of vehicles, and a commitment to helping people through some of their most stressful moments has grown into a thriving local restoration company with a dedicated team and strong roots throughout the community.

Over the past decade, the Eastern Iowa team has responded to countless water losses, fires, mold concerns, and other property emergencies. While the equipment, vehicles, and team have grown over the years, the mission has remained the same: to be there for customers when they need help most.

Today, Restoration 1 of Eastern Iowa has grown to a team of eight, including four restoration technicians, a Business Development Manager, an Operations Manager, and owners Larry and Skyler.

Each member of the team plays an important role — from responding to emergency losses and guiding customers through the restoration process to developing relationships with local businesses, referral partners, and members of the Eastern Iowa community.

The team credits much of its success over the past 10 years to the people who have supported the business along the way.

“We couldn’t have reached this milestone without our customers, employees, referral partners, friends, family, and local community. We are incredibly grateful for everyone who has trusted and supported Restoration 1 of Eastern Iowa over the last decade.”

The milestone is also a special opportunity to recognize Larry, Robin, and Skyler and celebrate everything they have helped build over the past 10 years.

Looking Ahead to the Next Chapter
While 10 years is certainly worth celebrating, Restoration 1 of Eastern Iowa isn't slowing down.

The franchise is continuing to grow, with some exciting developments happening behind the scenes. Although the team isn't ready to share all the details just yet, they are looking forward to what the next chapter will bring.

For now, the team is taking a moment to celebrate how far they've come — while looking ahead to the opportunities still to come.

Congratulations to Restoration 1 of Eastern Iowa on 10 years in business, and thank you to the Eastern Iowa community for a decade of trust and support. Here's to the next 10 years! 💙

One of the most common questions we hear is, "How long will restoration take?"

The answer depends on several factors, and every property is different.

The timeline is often affected by:

The types of materials involved

The time needed to thoroughly dry the structure

Insurance approvals and claim processing

While every job is unique, one thing stays the same: our team keeps you informed every step of the way, so you know what to expect throughout the restoration process.

Myth: If it feels dry, the water damage is gone.

Fact: A surface can feel completely dry while moisture remains trapped behind walls, under flooring, or inside insulation.

Water doesn't always stay where you can see it. Hidden moisture can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and costly repairs if it isn't properly identified and dried.

That's why restoration professionals use specialized moisture meters and other equipment to detect moisture that's invisible to the naked eye and ensure materials are thoroughly dried.

Dry to the touch doesn't always mean dry inside.

If you suspect hidden water damage, don't guess. Get it checked by the professionals.

Your air conditioner works overtime during the hottest part of the summer, but it can also create hidden moisture that leads to mold growth if left unchecked.

In August, excess humidity and AC condensation can collect in places you rarely see, including:

• AC drain pans
• Air ducts and vents
• Closets and storage spaces
• Around HVAC equipment

One of the first warning signs is often a musty odor, even if you don't see visible mold.

If your home has a persistent musty smell during AC season, it may be time for a professional inspection. Catching moisture early can help prevent more extensive damage later.

Smoke odors can linger long after the visible damage is gone but covering them up isn't the same as removing them.

Air fresheners, candles, and DIY sprays may temporarily mask the smell, but smoke particles can settle deep into walls, insulation, upholstery, and HVAC systems. Without proper treatment, the odor often returns.

Professional smoke and odor removal targets the source of the odor using specialized equipment and proven restoration techniques, helping restore your home to a cleaner, fresher environment.

If the odor won't quit, don't just cover it up. Let Restoration 1 eliminate it at the source.
