Call or text (815) 585-1750 24/7 about mold in your Homer Glen home. We seal off the area, take out what the mold has damaged, fix the water that caused it, and put the room back.
Mold remediation is the work of getting mold-damaged material out of a house without spreading it to the rooms around it. Our crew walls off the affected area with plastic sheeting, sets a negative air machine to pull air out of that space, and runs HEPA air scrubbers while the work goes on. Drywall, insulation, carpet and pad that the mold has grown into come out bagged, and the framing and hard surfaces left behind get cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial. Then we find what kept that spot wet, fix it, and rebuild.
Homer Glen is on our regular route, in from I-355 and across on 143rd Street, 159th Street, Bell Road and Route 7 in Will County. If your basement is finished and depends on one sump pump, a storm that knocks the power out can leave water under the carpet long enough for mold to start on the bottom of the drywall and the tack strip. We cut the wall back past the growth, pull the carpet and pad, and treat the slab and the studs before anything new goes in. The fix for the cause is part of the job: a new pump with a battery backup, so the next outage does not start this over.
Plastic sheeting and a sealed entry close the work area off, so the rest of the house stays out of it while material comes out.
A negative air machine pulls air out of the contained space, and HEPA air scrubbers filter it the whole time we work.
Moldy drywall, insulation, carpet and pad are cut out, bagged inside the containment and hauled away.
Studs, plates and the slab get cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial once the damaged material is gone.
A failed sump pump gets replaced and a battery backup added, so a power outage does not flood the basement again.
Insulation, drywall, base and flooring go back after the area is clear, finished to match the rest of the room.
We come out, look at the area, and write up a free estimate that lists what comes out, what gets treated and what goes back. Daily rates for the air scrubbers and the negative air machine are in writing before anything is set up, and if opening the wall shows the mold goes further, we price that in writing and wait for your approval. We recommend an independent tester check the area after cleaning and before we close it up. Once the rebuild is done, we walk the room with you.
If the sump quit and the basement smells musty, call or text (815) 585-1750 day or night. A photo of the wall and the pump pit tells us a lot.
