Call or text us 24/7 at (815) 585-1750 for mold in your Lombard home. We seal it off, take out what it grew into, fix what kept it wet and put the room back together.
We set up containment and negative air first, so the air in the work area goes outside instead of into the rest of the house. With HEPA air scrubbers running, we remove the carpet, pad, drywall and insulation that have growth on them. What stays is cleaned and treated with antimicrobial, and wet framing is dried and read until it shows dry. The moisture source gets fixed, and then we rebuild.
Lombard is on our regular route, off I-355 and along Roosevelt Road, Main Street and St. Charles Road in DuPage County. If your basement is finished with carpet, a washer hose that leaked or a seep along the wall can grow mold under the pad and up the bottom of the drywall while the carpet on top looks fine. In that case we pull the carpet and pad, cut the drywall along the wet line and look at the slab and the wall behind it. We fix the leak or replace the sump, then rebuild with flooring that suits a basement.
The affected part of the basement is closed off with plastic and a sealed entry before carpet comes up.
Air from the work area is pulled out and exhausted outdoors the whole time we work.
HEPA filtration runs while carpet, pad and drywall are removed.
Carpet, pad, the wet lower section of drywall and insulation with growth are cut out, bagged and hauled off.
The slab and framing are cleaned, treated with antimicrobial and dried with dehumidifiers until readings show dry.
The leak is repaired or the sump replaced, then drywall, base, paint and new flooring go back in.
We read the walls and floor, find the water and write the estimate before we start. It lists what gets contained and removed, how it is cleaned and dried, and what goes back, with daily equipment rates written down before setup. If the mold runs past where we planned to cut once the drywall is open, we price the extra in writing and wait for your approval. We recommend an independent tester confirm clearance, then we rebuild and walk the basement with you.
