We noticed spotting on the drywall in a corner of our living room and figured it was just surface dirt. It had already gotten into the wall cavity. They mapped out exactly how far it went before cutting anything, which I appreciated.

Our Clarendon Hills home had mold in the basement after heavy rain. They fixed it fast and it has stayed dry.

Good to know
Wall & Drywall Mold Removal in Westmont, IL: common questions
Can I paint over mold on drywall?
No. Painting over mold traps it and doesn't address the growth inside the drywall paper. It will usually resurface, sometimes worse, and can spread further inside the wall in the meantime.
Is exterior wall mold different from interior wall mold?
The removal process is similar, but exterior wall mold is more often caused by condensation from a temperature difference, while interior wall mold usually points to a plumbing leak or moisture intrusion from an adjacent space.
What if the mold has reached the wall studs?
Lightly affected framing can often be cleaned and treated in place. If it's gone deeper, we'll walk you through what's needed before closing the wall back up.
Is the wall & drywall mold removal you do in Westmont to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across DuPage County.
How much drywall will you remove?
We use moisture readings to define the affected boundary and cut along stud lines, so the removal matches the actual problem rather than an oversized guess.
Will you replace the drywall too?
We handle removal, drying, and can coordinate the drywall rebuild and texture matching as part of the project.
Do I need to leave my Westmont home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Westmont home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Westmont?
Yes. We cover all of Westmont, including Downers Grove, Hinsdale, Willowbrook, and the rest of the Westmont area. We are based in Clarendon Hills, about 5 minutes from our Clarendon Hills base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
