Best for

  • Manhattan, Salina, Topeka, or Wichita homeowners dealing with basement or crawl space mold tied to water intrusion or foundation problems.

  • Homeowners who need crawl space encapsulation after mold remediation to prevent recurrence in Kansas's humid summers.
  • Commercial property owners in north-central Kansas needing water damage and mold remediation with 24/7 emergency availability.

About this company

Lamunyon Dry Out & Foundation Repair is a locally owned company headquartered in Manhattan, Kansas, operating across the state since 1973. Mold remediation is one arm of a broader operation that includes foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and water damage restoration. That combination is their real differentiator: they can trace a mold problem back to its root cause — a cracked foundation, poor drainage, or a flooded crawl space — and fix both the mold and the structural issue under one contract.

On the mold side, their website describes a six-step process: visual examination, moisture mapping, moisture metering, thermal imaging, sample collection, and a final report. They handle both testing and remediation in-house. For crawl spaces, they offer encapsulation with vapor barriers as a long-term prevention measure after remediation. The foundation repair side uses helical piers and push piers, and multiple reviewers describe specific pier installation projects.

The company has been family-owned for over 50 years and maintains six regional offices across Kansas: Clay Center, Manhattan, McPherson, Salina, Topeka, and Wichita. They hold a BBB A+ rating and are an IICRC firm. The website claims over 215 years of combined experience across staff, and they offer financing for larger projects.

48 Google reviews at a perfect 5.0 stars is a small sample but a clean one. Zero complaints have appeared in the last 18 months. For a company covering this many service lines across this large a geography, that consistency is worth noting.

Review consensus

What reviewers praise

Three names surface repeatedly. Cody handles estimates and initial consultations; reviewers describe him as straightforward, informative, and honest about what work is actually needed versus what could be upsold. Matt leads field crews on foundation and restoration jobs, drawing praise for punctuality, communication, and finishing ahead of schedule. Lance manages projects and emergency response, with reviewers noting same-day arrivals and consistent follow-up during drying processes. Kyle pairs with Matt on foundation work and gets called out for patience in explaining processes. Multiple reviewers mention the crew not upselling — Linda McOllough specifically noted being told what work was necessary versus optional.

What low reviews reveal

0 found across 48 total reviews at 5.0★. No negative reviews (1-3 stars) appeared in the last 18 months across 48 total reviews at 5.0 stars.

Pattern worth noting

Reviewers consistently mention two things: honest scoping (being told what they don't need) and clear communication during multi-day jobs. Several reviews describe the crew explaining each step as they work, which suggests a company culture around transparency rather than one standout employee. The no-upsell theme appears across reviews spanning multiple years and different staff members, making it a structural pattern rather than an individual habit.

Bottom line

With zero complaints across 48 reviews and a consistent no-upsell reputation, Lamunyon has a clean track record. Ask for Cody on the estimate and clarify upfront whether your mold crew works mold jobs full-time. Get an independent test to offset the conflict of interest from their combined testing-and-remediation model.

Keep in mind

  • They do both mold testing and mold remediation. That creates a conflict of interest: the same company diagnosing the problem also profits from fixing it. Get an independent mold test before or after their assessment.
  • Mold is one of many service lines alongside foundation repair, waterproofing, and water damage restoration. Ask whether the crew assigned to your mold job works mold full-time or rotates across service lines.
  • They claim six offices across Kansas from Clay Center to Wichita. That is a large geographic footprint for a locally owned company. Confirm response time and crew availability for your specific location before booking.
  • 48 reviews is a small sample for a company that has operated since 1973. The 5.0 rating is strong but reflects a limited number of reviewers relative to decades of work.
