Mold Remediation in Palos Heights

Phone or text (815) 585-1750 around the clock, and we take the mold out of your Palos Heights home without spreading it through the house. Then we fix the leak and rebuild.

Getting mold out of a Palos Heights home the right way

The point of remediation is to remove mold, not move it. So the area is contained first, with negative air pulling from inside the containment to the outdoors and HEPA air scrubbers running the whole time. We cut out and bag the material with growth in it, then clean and apply antimicrobial to the framing and surfaces that stay. After the moisture source is repaired, we rebuild what came out.

We cover Palos Heights in Cook County, coming in on Route 83, Harlem Avenue, Ridgeland Avenue or 127th Street past Lake Katherine. A slow drip under a kitchen sink or behind a dishwasher can feed mold in the cabinet base and the drywall behind it long before the floor shows anything. If that is where yours is, we pull the affected cabinet and drywall inside containment and check the subfloor under it. We repair the leak, then put back cabinets, drywall and flooring that match the kitchen around them.

Palos Heights mold remediation scope

Containment

We seal the affected area off from the rest of the house, including the doorway to the next room.

Negative air

A negative air machine keeps air moving into the work area and exhausts it outdoors.

HEPA air scrubbing

HEPA air scrubbers run from the first cut to the last wipe-down.

Cabinet, drywall and flooring removal

Lower cabinets, drywall, insulation and flooring with growth on them are removed and bagged.

Cleaning, antimicrobial and drying

Framing and subfloor are cleaned, treated with antimicrobial and dried until the readings show dry.

Leak repair and rebuild

The supply line, drain or fixture that leaked is repaired, then cabinets, drywall, flooring and paint go back.

How it works in Palos Heights

We come out, take readings and find where the water came from, and you get a written estimate before work starts. It covers containment, removal, cleaning, the leak repair and the rebuild, including cabinets and flooring if they need replacing. Anything new we uncover, such as a soft subfloor, is priced in writing and done only with your approval. We recommend an independent tester confirm clearance, then we rebuild and walk the kitchen with you.

FAQ

Mold Remediation in Palos Heights: questions

Do you test for mold?
No, we do not test. What we do is contain the area, remove and clean the mold, fix the leak and rebuild. For clearance, we recommend an independent tester check the area after cleaning, before anything gets closed up.
Do I need to empty the room?
Not on your own. We move and protect the contents in the work area as part of the job, and we tell you ahead of time which rooms or cabinets will be off limits. If there is anything you would rather pack yourself, let us know when you call (815) 585-1750.
Does Palos Heights require a permit?
Removal and cleaning usually do not need one. A rebuild that changes plumbing, wiring or framing can, and we pull the permit with the City of Palos Heights where they require it.
How long will the kitchen be torn up?
That depends on how much cabinet and subfloor are affected. Removal, cleaning and drying come first, then clearance, then the rebuild once cabinets and materials are in. We give you dates and book around the days we said.
Do you take mold work near Palos Heights?
We do, in Palos Park, Orland Park and Willow Springs.
