Mold Remediation in Carol Stream

Call or text (815) 585-1750 any hour of the day, and we will get the mold out of your Carol Stream home behind containment, fix the water that started it, and rebuild the room.

How we handle mold in a Carol Stream home

Mold remediation starts with walls of plastic sheeting around the affected area and a negative air machine that pulls air out of that space, so the work stays inside it. HEPA air scrubbers run the whole time to catch the fine dust that removal kicks up. Drywall, insulation, carpet and anything else porous that the mold has grown into gets cut out, bagged and hauled away. The framing and hard surfaces left behind are HEPA vacuumed, cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial before anything new goes in.

We cover Carol Stream, from North Avenue and Gary Avenue up past Army Trail Road and Schmale Road, along with the rest of DuPage County. If your Carol Stream bathroom ceiling keeps growing a gray patch over the shower, look at the exhaust fan first. A fan that blows into the attic instead of venting outside leaves warm, wet air on the cold side of the ceiling, and the drywall pays for it. We open the ceiling, remove what is affected, run the fan duct so it vents outside, and rebuild with new drywall and paint.

Mold Remediation by ONIT Solutions

What mold remediation includes in Carol Stream

Containment

Plastic sheeting sealed floor to ceiling around the work, with a zippered door so the rest of the house stays out of it.

Negative air

A machine pulls air out of the contained space and exhausts it outside, so air moves into the work area instead of out of it.

HEPA air scrubbing

Scrubbers filter the air inside containment through the whole removal and cleaning.

Removal of affected materials

Moldy drywall, insulation, carpet and pad cut out, bagged in the work area and hauled off.

Cleaning and antimicrobial

Studs, joists and hard surfaces HEPA vacuumed, wiped down and treated before anything is closed up.

Moisture source and rebuild

We fix the leak or vent problem that fed the mold, recommend an independent tester confirm the area, then rebuild the drywall, insulation and paint.

How a Carol Stream mold job runs

We come out, look at the affected area, and give you a free estimate in writing before any work starts. That estimate lists the containment, the equipment and its daily rates, what comes out and what goes back in. If opening the wall shows the mold goes further than we could see, we stop, price the extra work in writing, and wait for your approval. We schedule the rebuild after the area is clean and your independent tester has been through, and we walk the finished room with you at the end.

FAQ

Mold Remediation in Carol Stream: questions

Do you test for mold?
No, we do not do mold testing. We recommend you hire an independent tester, someone with no stake in the remediation, to check the area once we finish cleaning. We schedule the rebuild after their report so nothing gets closed up before it is confirmed.
Why does the bathroom fan matter?
A bath fan moves a lot of shower moisture. If it vents into the attic or the duct has come apart, that moisture ends up on the drywall and framing above the ceiling. Removing the mold without fixing the fan leaves the cause in place, so we fix both.
How long does it take?
It depends on how much material has to come out and what the rebuild involves. The written estimate lays out the steps, and the rebuild is scheduled once the cleaning is done and your tester has checked the area. Text photos to (815) 585-1750 and we can give you a first read.
Do I need a permit in Carol Stream?
Parts of the rebuild can need one, like new framing, electrical or plumbing. Where Carol Stream requires a permit for the work, we pull it and schedule the inspections.
What other towns do you cover?
We take mold calls in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Glendale Heights and Warrenville too.
