Text a photo or call (815) 585-1750, 24/7, about mold in your Glendale Heights home. We contain it, remove it, dry the wall properly this time and rebuild.
When we take on mold, containment comes first and the rebuild comes last. In between, a negative air machine keeps the work area venting outdoors, HEPA air scrubbers filter the air, and the drywall, insulation, carpet or trim with growth is removed and bagged. The framing and surfaces that stay are cleaned, treated with antimicrobial and dried until our readings show dry. We also fix the moisture source so the rebuild goes onto a dry wall.
We cover Glendale Heights in DuPage County, up I-355 to North Avenue and Army Trail Road, with Bloomingdale Road and Glen Ellyn Road running through town. Mold that shows up weeks after a leak was mopped up is a sign the water got into the wall and was never dried there. If that happened in your Glendale Heights house, the bottom of the drywall and the insulation behind it are where we look first. We cut along the wet line inside containment, dry the cavity with air movers and dehumidifiers, and take readings every day until it shows dry before anything is rebuilt.
The affected room or wall is closed off with plastic sheeting before the drywall is cut.
A negative air machine pulls from the work area and vents outside.
HEPA air scrubbers filter the air through removal and cleaning.
The wet lower section of drywall, the insulation behind it and any carpet or base with growth come out and are bagged.
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the open cavity, with moisture readings every day.
Cleaned framing gets antimicrobial treatment, then insulation, drywall, base and paint go back.
We start by reading the walls and floor and writing the estimate before work begins. It covers containment, removal, drying, cleaning and the rebuild, and the daily rate for each piece of drying equipment is in writing before setup. Equipment is checked every day and comes out as soon as the readings show dry, and any change is priced in writing for your approval. We recommend an independent tester confirm clearance, then we rebuild and walk the room with you.
Call or text (815) 585-1750 and tell us when the leak happened. We will tell you where we would look and what we would open.
