About this company
ABC Environmental Contracting is a full-service restoration company based in Springfield, Missouri, operating from 2014 E McDaniel St. Mold remediation is one piece of a broader operation that includes water damage restoration, fire damage cleanup, asbestos testing and removal, sewage cleanup, and post-damage reconstruction. They hold IICRC certification and a BBB A- rating. Their mold page describes a four-step process: inspection, containment with HEPA air filtration, removal, and moisture-source correction.
The differentiator here is scope. ABC handles the full chain from emergency water extraction through mold remediation to structural rebuild, and they bill insurance directly. They claim a 30-to-60-minute emergency response time and run 24/7 operations. They also operate locations in St. Louis, Columbia, and Kansas City under related brands.
Dan and Tina Benton run the company, which has been operating for over 10 years. They publish case studies showing before-and-after work on water damage jobs in Springfield, Branson, Nixa, and Hartville. The company serves both residential and commercial properties, including schools and government buildings.

Review consensus
Reviewers consistently highlight fast response times and follow-through. Dakota handled a long-distance condo water damage situation and kept the owner updated from 500 miles away. Jake Rauch walked a homeowner through daily basement mold remediation progress and even mailed forgotten personal items after the job. Matt met a tight closing deadline for multiple repairs. Mike earned repeat business across several projects. Seth and Jake earned specific praise for work ethic from a reviewer named Lesley Latham. Content cleaning staff received separate praise for careful handling of personal belongings. Multiple reviewers mention ABC arriving within hours of an emergency call, including one at 3 AM who had crews on-site by 5 AM.
1 found across 27 total reviews at 4.5★. The sole recent negative is a 1-star review from Big Dad (January 2025) that says only "Don't use. Terrible service" with no specifics about what went wrong. The reviewer has 5 total Google reviews and is not a Local Guide. The review received zero likes. ABC did not respond.
ABC has a 0% owner response rate on negative reviews. With only one recent negative, this is a single data point rather than a pattern. Still, the absence of any public response to complaints means you cannot gauge how the company handles dissatisfied customers.
Matt (repairs coordinator — positive). Dakota (initial contact/project manager — positive). Jake Rauch (field crew/project updates — positive). Seth (field crew — positive). Mike (project lead — positive, repeat mention). April Kleesch (content/property damage — positive). Dominic (project work — positive). Corey (project work — positive). John (crawl space inspection/mold — positive).
Most reviewers describe a responsive team that communicates well during stressful situations. Ask for Dakota or Jake Rauch if your job involves ongoing project management. The thin review volume and zero response to the one negative review mean you are trusting a relatively small track record.
Keep in mind
- ABC does both mold inspection and mold remediation. That means the same company telling you that you have a mold problem is the one you'd pay to fix it. Consider getting an independent mold test before committing to their remediation scope.
- Their Google rating is 4.5 stars across only 27 reviews. That is a small sample, and a single bad experience moves the needle significantly.
- The one recent 1-star review received no owner response. With a 0% response rate on negatives, there is no public evidence of how ABC handles complaints.
- Their website lists locations in Springfield, St. Louis, Columbia, and Kansas City. Confirm which crew and office would handle your job, since multi-location operations sometimes stretch thin on staffing.
