About this company

Lamunyon Dry Out & Foundation Repair operates out of Clay Center, Kansas, with six regional offices spanning Wichita, Topeka, Salina, Manhattan, and McPherson. Mold is one piece of a broader operation: they also handle water damage restoration, foundation repair, basement waterproofing, and crawl space encapsulation. They do both mold testing and mold remediation in-house, which means the same company that tells you there is a problem also sells you the fix.

On the mold side, they use air sampling, surface testing (swab and tape lift), and thermal imaging to locate moisture and mold growth. Their website describes containment and air filtration during remediation, plus post-remediation clearance testing. They work on basements, crawl spaces, and attics. The overlap with their water damage and foundation divisions means they can address the moisture source and the mold in the same scope of work, which is unusual for a mold-focused company.

They have been in business since 1973 and describe themselves as locally owned and operated. The company claims over 215 years of combined team experience. They hold IICRC certification and a BBB A+ rating. They offer financing and run a VIP/Realtor program for real estate transactions.

Google reviewers have given them a 4.9-star average across 188 reviews. For a company handling foundation repair and water damage (where scope disputes and cost overruns are common), that rating with that volume is notably strong.

Review consensus

What reviewers praise

Cody draws the most mentions as the estimator and sales contact. Multiple reviewers note he gave honest assessments, did not oversell, and in at least one case told a homeowner their problem was less severe than a competitor claimed, saving them tens of thousands of dollars. Jeremiah appears repeatedly as a cleanup and restoration lead, praised for immediate response on water damage jobs. Matt, David, Quinton, and DeShawn are named as reliable field crews on foundation and waterproofing jobs. Reviewers consistently mention clean job sites, on-time arrivals, and willingness to answer questions. Several note the company helped them navigate insurance claims.

What low reviews reveal

1 found across 188 total reviews at 4.9★. There are no 1-star or 2-star reviews in the recent window. The sole negative is a 3-star review from Andrew Parker (March 2025), a Local Guide with 23 reviews, who left no text explaining the rating. The owner responded two months later with a generic request for feedback. Without any complaint text, there is nothing actionable to report.

Pattern worth noting

The near-total absence of detailed negative reviews is itself a pattern. Across 188 reviews, only one recent rating falls below 4 stars, and it has no text. This could reflect genuinely strong operations, or it could reflect a company whose customer base in rural Kansas is less likely to leave negative reviews. The owner response to the lone 3-star was generic and arrived nearly three months later, suggesting reputation management is not heavily resourced.

Named staff

DeShawn (installer — praised for waterproofing). Eric (crew — praised for punctuality and communication). Darrell/Daryl (foreman — praised for installation work).

Bottom line

Lamunyon has an unusually clean review record for a restoration company. Ask for Cody on the estimate and Jeremiah if your job involves water damage or mold. Since they test and remediate, get a second opinion on the testing results from an independent lab or inspector before signing a remediation contract. Confirm your location falls within practical range of one of their six offices.

Keep in mind

  • Lamunyon does both mold testing and mold remediation. The company that diagnoses the problem profits from fixing it. Consider getting an independent test before or after their work.
  • Their primary business is foundation repair and water damage restoration. Mold remediation is one of several service lines, not the sole focus.
  • They claim statewide Kansas coverage, but their six offices cluster in the central and eastern part of the state. Confirm travel fees and response times if you are in western Kansas.
  • The only recent negative review is a textless 3-star, so there is almost no complaint data to evaluate. A 4.9 rating across 188 reviews is strong, but the lack of detailed negatives means you cannot learn much about where they fall short.
