Our phone at (815) 585-1750 is answered 24/7, so call or text about mold in your Oak Brook home. You get the area contained and cleaned, the moisture stopped and the room rebuilt by one company.
Mold remediation means taking out what the mold grew into and cleaning what can stay, without sending it through the rest of the house. That is what containment, negative air and HEPA air scrubbing are for, and they go up first. After removal, we clean the framing and hard surfaces, apply antimicrobial and dry anything that is still wet. The last step before the rebuild is making sure the moisture that started it is fixed.
We cover Oak Brook, coming in on I-88 and I-294 or along Route 83, York Road and 22nd Street in DuPage County. If your house has a large finished lower level, the mechanical room is worth a look, since a condensate line from the air conditioner or a leaking drain nearby can wet the bottom of a wall for months before anyone notices. We trace the stain back to where the water comes from. Where it is a plumbing leak, we repair it, and where it is outside our trades, we tell you plainly what it is so it gets fixed before the wall closes.
The affected area is closed off with plastic sheeting and a sealed doorway before we touch anything.
A negative air machine exhausts the air from inside the containment to the outdoors.
HEPA air scrubbers keep filtering the air while materials are cut out and surfaces are cleaned.
Anything with growth in it, from drywall and insulation to carpet pad and lower cabinets, is cut out and bagged inside the containment.
Framing, subfloor and other surfaces that stay are cleaned and treated with antimicrobial.
Wet framing is dried and read until it shows dry, then insulation, drywall, trim, flooring and paint go back.
First comes a look at the area and a written estimate, before we start. The scope covers containment, removal, cleaning, the moisture fix and the rebuild, and daily rates for any drying equipment are in writing before it is set up. You approve any change in writing, including more growth found once a wall is open. When the cleaning is done we recommend an independent tester confirm clearance, then we rebuild and walk through it with you.
Send us a photo at (815) 585-1750, any hour. We will tell you what we would contain and what we think is causing it.
