Mold Remediation in Wood Dale, IL

Wood Dale mold remediation

A lot of mold gets found by accident, when a wall is opened for a remodel or a carpet comes up and the floor underneath is stained. When that happens, the job changes order: the area gets closed in with plastic sheeting, a negative air machine goes on, and HEPA scrubbers start filtering the air before any more demolition. We remove what the mold has reached, bag it inside containment, and HEPA vacuum, clean and treat the framing and subfloor with an antimicrobial. The original project picks back up after the moisture source is fixed.

We cover Wood Dale, reaching it on Route 83 and working off Irving Park Road, Thorndale Avenue and Wood Dale Road and around the Metra station. If your Wood Dale house had a leak a long time ago that was mopped up and painted over, the drywall can look fine while the back side and the bottom plate tell a different story. We check with a moisture meter and open the wall where the readings point. If the old leak is still active, we fix it before anything is closed back up.

Mold remediation steps in Wood Dale

Stop and contain

Work stops, and sheeting goes up around the area before another piece of drywall comes down.

Negative air setup

Air is pulled into the work area and sent outside, so dust from the removal goes where we want it.

HEPA air scrubbers

They run in the contained space through removal and cleaning.

Removing what is affected

Drywall, insulation, carpet, pad and any subfloor that cannot be cleaned, cut out and bagged.

Cleaning and treatment

Framing and subfloor HEPA vacuumed, cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial.

Back to the original project

The source fixed and an independent tester recommended for clearance, then the rebuild or the remodel continues.

How mold changes a Wood Dale project

If we find mold during work we are already doing, we show you, stop, and write up the remediation as a separate price. Nothing on it happens until you approve it in writing, and the equipment daily rates are on that same page. If you called us because you found it yourself, the estimate is free and written before we start. Either way, the job ends with a walkthrough and copies of the photos and readings.

FAQ

Mold Remediation in Wood Dale: questions

Do you test for mold?

Testing is not something we do. We recommend an independent tester come in after we have cleaned, and we go ahead with the rebuild once they confirm the area. That way the result does not rest on our say-so.

We found mold during a remodel. Now what?

Stop work in that area and keep the door closed. Send a photo to (815) 585-1750 and we will set up containment before anything else gets opened.

Will this hold up my remodel?

It adds steps, because the area has to be cleaned and checked before it gets closed in. We give you the revised schedule in writing along with the price.

Does Wood Dale require permits for this?

The remodel or rebuild work, like framing, electrical or plumbing, can need one. Where Wood Dale requires a permit, we pull it and schedule the inspections.

What towns near Wood Dale do you serve?

We also cover Itasca, Addison, Elmhurst and Rosemont.
