Mold Remediation in Clarendon Hills, IL

How we handle mold in Clarendon Hills homes

Before anything gets cut, the area is closed off. We put up containment, run a negative air machine that exhausts outside and keep HEPA air scrubbers going, so the rest of the house stays out of the work. Then the materials the mold grew into come out, the framing and hard surfaces are cleaned, and an antimicrobial treatment goes on. We fix what was keeping it wet, and ONIT Solutions does the rebuild too.

We cover Clarendon Hills in DuPage County, reaching it on Route 83 and Ogden Avenue or across 55th Street. If your Clarendon Hills basement is finished, a slow seep or a sump pump that fell behind in a wet spring can grow mold on the back of the drywall, out of sight until the paint stains or the room smells musty. We open that wall inside containment and follow the growth until it stops. If the sump was the cause, we replace it and can add a battery backup before the wall goes back up.

Included in a Clarendon Hills mold job

Sealed work area

We close the room or the section of basement off with plastic and a zippered entry before any material is disturbed.

Air pulled outside

A negative air machine draws air out of the work area and vents it outdoors for the whole job.

HEPA scrubbers

HEPA air scrubbers filter the air inside the containment while we cut and clean.

Out with the affected material

Drywall, insulation, carpet, pad and baseboard with growth on them are removed, bagged and taken away.

Clean and treat

The framing, slab and other hard surfaces are cleaned and given an antimicrobial treatment.

Source fixed, room rebuilt

We correct the moisture problem, including sump pump replacement where that was the cause, then rebuild with new insulation, drywall, base and paint.

From the first look to the last coat in Clarendon Hills

Send a photo, then we come out, find the moisture and write the estimate before work starts. It spells out the containment, the removal, the cleaning and the rebuild, plus the daily equipment rates if drying is needed. Anything we find once the wall is open is priced in writing, and nothing extra happens without your approval. The rebuild is scheduled after the independent clearance test we recommend, and we walk the room with you at the end.

FAQ

Mold Remediation in Clarendon Hills: questions

Do you test for mold?

We do not. Testing is not part of what we do, and it is better done by someone independent of the work. Once remediation is complete, we recommend an independent tester confirm clearance before we rebuild.

Does homeowners insurance cover mold?

It depends on your policy and on what caused the mold. Policies often treat growth from a sudden leak differently from growth that built up over time, and some limit mold coverage, so check with your carrier. We write the estimate line by line in the format carriers use and meet the adjuster at the house if they want.

Will Clarendon Hills require a permit?

Removing and cleaning moldy material usually does not. Replacing framing, moving wiring or changing plumbing during the rebuild can, and we pull the permit with the Village of Clarendon Hills where it applies.

How long until the room is usable again?

That depends on how much has to come out and how long the framing takes to dry. Removal and cleaning come first, then drying until the readings show dry, then clearance and the rebuild. Call or text (815) 585-1750 with a photo and we can give you a better sense once we see it.

Do you take mold jobs outside Clarendon Hills?

We do. Hinsdale, Westmont, Willowbrook and Downers Grove are all on our list too.
