Mold Remediation in Crest Hill

Call or text (815) 585-1750 24/7 to get the mold out of your Crest Hill bathroom or basement and the wall rebuilt with real waterproofing behind it. We work in Crest Hill every week.

Mold remediation in Crest Hill bathrooms and basements

We run mold remediation sealed off, under negative air and filtered by HEPA air scrubbers from start to finish. Tile, backer, drywall and insulation the mold has reached come out, and the studs and surfaces behind are cleaned and treated with antimicrobial. Once the water source is found and fixed, we rebuild. In a bathroom, that means a waterproofing membrane goes behind the new tile.

We work in Crest Hill every week, coming in on I-55, Route 30, Route 53, Weber Road and Caton Farm Road. A tiled shower with cracked grout or no membrane behind the tile can let water into the wall a little at a time, and the first sign is often loose tile or a stain on the other side of the wall. If your Crest Hill shower has either, we open the wall inside containment and see how much of it the water reached. From there it is a shower rebuild with a real waterproofing membrane, new tile and a fan vented outside.

Mold Remediation by ONIT Solutions

What's part of a Crest Hill mold job

Sealed bathroom

Plastic seals the bathroom door and vents so the rest of the house is kept out of the work.

Negative air

Air is pulled out of the bathroom through a negative air machine for as long as the wall is open.

HEPA scrubbing

A HEPA air scrubber filters the air in the room during removal and cleaning.

Tile and wall removal

Tile, backer, drywall and insulation with mold or water in them come out and leave bagged.

Studs cleaned and treated

Framing and the floor around the shower are cleaned and treated with antimicrobial.

Waterproofed rebuild

New backer, a waterproofing membrane, tile and grout go in, with the fan vented to the outside.

How a Crest Hill mold job comes together

We look at the shower and the wall around it, take readings and give you a written estimate for the removal, cleaning and rebuild. If the wall shows more damage once it is open, we price that in writing and wait for your approval. We recommend an independent tester confirm the area after cleaning, and the rebuild goes on the calendar once materials are in. We walk the finished bathroom with you.

FAQ

Mold Remediation in Crest Hill: questions

Do you test for mold?
No. We remove the mold and rebuild, and we recommend an independent tester confirm the area after cleaning and before the new shower goes in.
Do I need a permit from Crest Hill?
Mold removal usually does not need one. A shower rebuild with plumbing or electrical changes often does, and we pull the city permit and schedule inspections where Crest Hill requires them.
How long will I be without the shower?
Removal and cleaning usually take a few days. Once materials are in, a full bathroom rebuild runs about two to three weeks, and a shower on its own usually takes less.
Can you just regrout over it?
Not if water has already reached the wall. New grout over a wet, moldy wall covers the problem without fixing it. Call or text (815) 585-1750 with a photo and we will tell you whether the wall needs to open.
Do you work near Crest Hill?
Yes. We do mold remediation in Joliet, Lockport, Shorewood and Romeoville too.
