Libby Demuth - Owner
Libby Demuth's work at SERVPRO of Black Hawk County is behind the scenes but never unnoticed. She coordinates the office logistics and is the uniforms & supply manager. The whiteboard in her office is a go-to-place to request necessary supplies to help every employee be successful in their work.
Her attention to detail of the SERVPRO work attire not only assists employees to ‘dress the part’ but keeps the team seasonally fitting and coordinated.
Libby also does the accounting and payroll in QuickBooks fulfilling that role since purchasing the franchise in 2012 with her husband Scott. Outside of work she enjoys their two daughters' activities and family time.
Madison Engelke - Marketing Support Coordinator
Madison Engelke joined the SERVPRO team as the Marketing Support Coordinator in June 2021, days before the office moved into its new location, quadrupling the size of the workplace. Her enthusiasm and gratefulness were not lost in the vast space & busyness but added a fun component to it all!
From Storm Lake, Iowa, this UNI graduate sought out & took advantage of opportunities in marketing while in college, to give her a great base to go with her Business Marketing: Digital Media & Advertising degree. She is Google Ad & Excel certified and enjoys sharing information and advice through writing. She was a member and held leadership roles in the oldest, still running student organization on the UNI campus, Orchesis Dance Company.

Derise Luna- Job File Coordinator
Cool, calm and quick to bring stability to a chaotic situation; SERVPRO’s job file coordinator, Derise, fills this need effectively! She’s often the first person to answer the call for help, literally! Listening, sorting out, and connecting the needed assistance puts a smile on her face.
Derise brings a lifetime of experience in the many facets of owning a business, from her family’s entrepreneurship. Seeing a need and filling it, comes second nature.
Surrounded by her large family, involved in kids’ activities, and spending time in nature is first on her list of importance outside of SERVPRO…making it special by adding a great cup of coffee completes the joy-filled experience!
Amanda Tomlinson - Job File Coordinator
The first step to any project begins with a phone call to our central office. Amanda Tomlinson is the face on the other end of the line who will keep you calm, cool, and collected while we get all the necessary details to get you back to “like it never even happened.” Amanda started in October of 2022 and has been a great asset to our team. She graduated from Hawkeye Community College and obtained Executive Assistant AAS & Legal Office AAS. When she is not busy coordinating jobs and being attentive to customers, you can find her spending time with her three children, supporting her nieces and nephews at their events, or cuddling her cat, Rosie! Amanda enjoys doing a lot of projects around her home which makes her the perfect addition to SERVPRO since restoring homes is a passion of ours. Customer service is where Amanda thrives and she enjoys that part of her role. One of her favorite parts about this position is “When you can hear laughter throughout the day, that’s where I need to be. Everyone takes their job seriously and does whatever they need to do to take care of the crisis/problem our customer is dealing with, but also know how to be fun and not take life so seriously.”
