Mold Remediation in Palos Park, IL

Mold remediation in Palos Park, done under containment

We treat every mold job as two problems: the growth and the water that fed it. The growth is handled under containment with negative air and HEPA air scrubbing, and the affected drywall, insulation, carpet or trim is removed and bagged. What stays is cleaned and treated with antimicrobial, and anything still wet is dried and read until it shows dry. Then we deal with the water and rebuild.

Palos Park is on our regular route in Cook County, along Route 45, 123rd Street and McCarthy Road, with the Palos and Sag Valley forest preserves around it. On a wooded lot, gutters fill with leaves and twigs, and an overflowing gutter can drop a season of rain right against the foundation. If that is where your basement mold started, removing it is only half the job. We repair damaged gutters and trim, and we show you where the water was landing so it gets sent away from the house before the basement is rebuilt.

Palos Park mold remediation, line by line

Contained work area

The basement or room is sectioned off with plastic sheeting and a sealed entry before removal starts.

Negative air, vented out

A negative air machine draws air from the work area and sends it outdoors.

HEPA air scrubbers

HEPA scrubbers filter the air throughout the removal and cleaning.

Removal of affected materials

Drywall, insulation, carpet and pad with growth on them are cut out, bagged and hauled off.

Clean, treat and dry

Remaining surfaces are cleaned and treated with antimicrobial, and wet framing is dried with dehumidifiers until readings show dry.

Gutter repair and rebuild

Damaged gutters or trim are repaired, then the basement or room is rebuilt with new insulation, drywall, base and paint.

How we run a Palos Park mold job

We walk the area, check outside where the water may be coming in and give you a written estimate before we start. The estimate is itemized, and any daily equipment rates are in writing before the equipment is set. If the wall shows more than we expected, that work is priced in writing and waits for your OK. Once clearance is confirmed by an independent tester, which we recommend, we rebuild on the dates we set and walk it with you.

FAQ

Mold Remediation in Palos Park: questions

Do you test for mold?

We do not test for mold. Our part is the containment, removal, cleaning, moisture fix and rebuild. We recommend an independent tester confirm clearance once the cleaning is done, and we hold the rebuild until they have.

What do I get in writing?

An itemized estimate before work starts, the daily rate for any drying equipment before it is set, and a written price for any change before it is made. You also get copies of the photos, the moisture readings and the estimate, the same documents your carrier gets if there is a claim.

Do I need a permit in Palos Park?

Not usually for removal and cleaning. If the rebuild includes framing, electrical or plumbing, it may, and we pull the permit with the Village of Palos Park where it is required.

How long until the basement is finished again?

First the removal and cleaning, then drying until the readings show dry, then clearance. The rebuild comes after that on a schedule we set with you, and how long it runs depends on how much came out. Text a photo to (815) 585-1750 and we can talk about your space.

Do you cover towns near Palos Park?

Yes. We take mold jobs in Palos Heights, Orland Park and Lemont too.
