Call or text (815) 585-1750, day or night, about mold on a ceiling or wall in your Willowbrook home. We take out what is damaged, stop the leak above it, and finish the ceiling to match the room.
Mold remediation starts with containment: plastic sheeting around the work area, a negative air machine pulling air out of it, and HEPA air scrubbers filtering inside. With that running, we cut out the drywall, insulation and other materials the mold has grown into and bag them where they came down. The joists, studs and surfaces that stay are cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial. We repair the leak that caused it, then rebuild.
Willowbrook is on our regular route, off I-55 and Route 83 and along 63rd Street in DuPage County. If the mold is on a ceiling below an upstairs bathroom, the water usually comes from a toilet seal, a tub or shower drain, or grout and caulk that let water past the tile. Water like that can soak the ceiling cavity for a long time before the stain shows downstairs. We remove the damaged ceiling, treat the joists, fix the toilet, drain or tile joint above, and then put up new drywall and paint.
The room below is sealed with plastic and the floor is covered, so ceiling debris and dust stay in one place.
A negative air machine pulls from the work area and HEPA air scrubbers filter it during the whole removal.
We cut the ceiling back past the growth and bag the wet or moldy drywall and insulation.
The framing above the ceiling is cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial before it is covered again.
We reset or replace the toilet, repair the drain connection, or redo the failed grout and caulk upstairs.
New drywall is hung, taped, textured to match where needed, primed and painted.
After we see the ceiling and the bathroom above it, you get a free estimate in writing for removal, treatment, the plumbing or tile repair and the rebuild. Daily air equipment rates are in writing before setup, and if the leak turns out to have spread further, the added work is written up and waits for your approval. We recommend an independent tester confirm clearance after cleaning, and then we book the ceiling work. We finish with a walkthrough of both rooms.
