Mold Remediation in Darien, IL

Mold remediation in Darien

We treat mold as a removal job with a repair at the end, not a spray-and-go job. The area is sealed with plastic, a negative air machine pulls air out of it, and HEPA air scrubbers filter the space until we are done. Any drywall, insulation, flooring or trim the mold has gotten into is taken out and bagged, and the framing behind it is cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial. Then the cause gets fixed and the room is rebuilt.

Darien is in DuPage County, and we cover it off I-55 and Route 83, working along 75th Street and Cass Avenue. If the mold you found is behind the washer or along the bottom of the laundry room wall, the source is often a supply hose, a drain standpipe or a valve that has been seeping for a while. We pull the machines out, cut the wall back past the growth, replace the failed line or valve, and treat the studs and floor. New drywall and base go back after that, and the washer returns to a floor that is dry.

Included in a Darien mold job

Plastic containment

The laundry room or work area is closed off with sheeting so the rest of the house is not part of the job.

Negative air and scrubbers

A negative air machine exhausts air from the work area, and HEPA air scrubbers filter it as removal goes on.

Wall and floor material out

Drywall, insulation, base and flooring with mold in them are cut out, bagged and hauled away.

Antimicrobial on the framing

Studs, plates and the subfloor or slab are cleaned and treated before the wall is closed again.

Plumbing leak fixed

We replace the seeping hose, valve or drain connection so the wall stays dry after we leave.

Room finished again

New drywall, base, flooring and paint go in, and the machines go back in place.

How mold remediation runs in Darien

We look at the area, then hand you a free written estimate that covers removal, treatment, the plumbing repair and the rebuild. The air equipment's daily rates are shown in writing first, and if opening the wall uncovers more damage, you get the added cost in writing to approve before we go on. We recommend an independent tester confirm clearance once cleaning is done, and the rebuild is scheduled after that. The job ends with a walkthrough with you.

FAQ

Mold Remediation in Darien: questions

Do you test for mold?

No, we leave testing to an independent tester, and we recommend you use one after our cleaning. A separate company checking the work gives you a cleaner answer than the contractor grading itself.

What other towns around Darien do you serve?

We do mold remediation in Willowbrook, Woodridge, Westmont and Downers Grove as well as Darien.

Is a permit needed in Darien?

For removal and cleaning, usually not. If the repair involves new plumbing or framing, we check with the city and pull the permit it needs.

Can I run the washer while you work?

Not on that wall, since the machine has to come out for us to reach it. We plan the work so your laundry is down for as few days as the job allows, and we tell you the dates in writing.

When can you come look at it?

Call or text (815) 585-1750 and send a photo of the wall. We set up the estimate as fast as we can and give you a schedule in writing.
