Mold Remediation in Glen Ellyn, IL

Mold remediation in Glen Ellyn, contained and rebuilt

Mold work goes wrong when it is torn out in the open, so containment and negative air come before the first cut. HEPA air scrubbers clean the air inside the containment while we remove the ceiling, drywall or insulation with growth in it. The joists, studs and surfaces that stay are cleaned and treated with antimicrobial. We fix the water that caused it, and then ONIT Solutions rebuilds the room.

We cover Glen Ellyn in DuPage County on Roosevelt Road, Route 53 and Main Street, from downtown and Lake Ellyn out toward College of DuPage. A stain on a first-floor ceiling under a bathroom is worth a look, because a toilet seal or tub drain leaking a little with every use can grow mold on the joists and the back of the drywall below. If that is what you have, we open the ceiling inside containment, find the leak and fix it from above or below. Then the ceiling is rebuilt, taped and painted to match.

Glen Ellyn mold remediation, what is included

Containment under the ceiling

The room is sealed with plastic, including doorways and vents, before the ceiling is opened.

Negative air

A negative air machine pulls from the contained room and exhausts outdoors.

HEPA air scrubbing

HEPA air scrubbers keep running while ceiling drywall and insulation come down.

Ceiling and wall removal

Ceiling drywall, insulation and wall sections with growth are cut out, bagged and hauled away.

Clean and treat the framing

Joists and studs left in place are cleaned, treated with antimicrobial and read until they show dry.

Leak fix and ceiling rebuild

The toilet seal, drain or supply line is repaired, then the ceiling is hung, taped, textured where needed and painted.

What a Glen Ellyn mold job looks like

We look at the stain, read the ceiling and the floor above, and give you a written estimate before we start. You see the containment, the removal, the leak repair and the rebuild laid out line by line, with daily rates for any equipment in writing first. If the leak turns out to have reached more of the ceiling, that is priced in writing and done only after you approve it. Once an independent tester confirms clearance, as we recommend, we close the ceiling and walk the room with you.

FAQ

Mold Remediation in Glen Ellyn: questions

Do you test for mold?

No. We remove mold, we do not test for it. After the cleaning, we recommend an independent tester confirm clearance, and that report is yours to keep for your records or a future buyer.

What happens to the drywall and insulation that come out?

It is bagged inside the containment so it does not get carried through the house, then hauled off as part of the job. You do not need to arrange a dumpster or haul anything to the curb.

Does Glen Ellyn require a permit for this?

Removing and cleaning the mold usually does not. Rebuilding with new framing or changing plumbing or wiring may, and we pull the permit with the Village of Glen Ellyn where required.

How long is the ceiling open?

Long enough to remove the damage, fix the leak, dry the framing and get clearance. How long that takes depends on how wet the joists are, and we read them until they show dry. Text a photo to (815) 585-1750 and we can tell you more.

Do you cover towns near Glen Ellyn?

Yes, including Wheaton, Lombard and Glendale Heights.
