Housing stock in Des Moines
72% of roughly 97,457 housing units predate 1980, and 40% of occupied homes are rented. Age of stock matters for water losses because older assemblies dry more slowly and older supply lines fail more often — and tenure matters because who pays for remediation turns on it. Who pays →

Des Moines restoration: common questions
How many restoration firms are there in Des Moines?
We hold verified credential records for 7 firms in Des Moines. That is a count of what we could verify, not a count of every firm operating here — a firm we hold no record for is simply one we could not check.
What are Des Moines restoration firms certified in?
The credentials most often on record here are FSRT (Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration Technician, 7 firms), WRT (Water Damage Restoration Technician, 7 firms), CCT (Carpet Cleaning Technician, 5 firms), OCT (Odor Control Technician, 5 firms). Each was checked against IICRC's own registry rather than the firm's marketing.
Does Des Moines require a licensed mold contractor?
Iowa runs no mold-specific licensing programme — only five US jurisdictions do — so there is no state mold licence to check here. General contractor registration may still apply to rebuild work. IICRC certification is the credential a homeowner can verify, and it is what every listing here is checked against.
Is older housing a factor in Des Moines?
72% of Des Moines's roughly 97,457 housing units were built before 1980, and 28% before 1940. Older stock more often carries galvanised or cast-iron supply lines, cavity constructions that dry slowly, and materials that predate modern vapour control — which is context for a water loss, not a prediction about any particular building.
