Residential Mold Remediation for Chicago, IL homes
Residential Mold Remediation in Chicago tends to start the same way mold does across Cook County: roof and plumbing leaks in Chicago homes that feed hidden mold for months before anyone notices. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Cicero, Stickney, Oak Park and the rest of Chicago call us.
We handle residential mold remediation for Chicago the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Clarendon Hills, about 25 minutes from our Clarendon Hills base, so we can usually reach a Chicago home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
