Professional Mold Removal Services in Chicagoland

Our mold removal team follows a set of standard procedures when cleaning mold from homes. These procedures may vary slightly depending on the severity and type of mold, as well as the specific circumstances of the mold infestation. However, the following is a general outline of the steps that are typically taken:

1. Assessment: The first step is to assess the extent of the mold growth, the type of mold present, and any potential health risks associated with the mold.
2. Containment: To prevent the mold spores from spreading to other areas of the home, the affected area is sealed off using plastic sheeting and duct tape. Negative air pressure machines may also be used to keep the mold spores from spreading.
3. Removal of mold-damaged materials: Any materials that are visibly contaminated with mold, such as drywall or carpet, are removed and disposed of.
4. Cleaning and disinfecting: The remaining surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected using specialized equipment and chemicals. This may include scrubbing with brushes or using high-pressure sprayers to remove the mold.
5. Drying: After the cleaning process is complete, the affected area is thoroughly dried to prevent any remaining moisture from allowing the mold to regrow.
6. Restoration: Any materials that were removed during the cleaning process are replaced or repaired.

Throughout the process, professional mold removal companies will take precautions to protect the health and safety of the occupants of the home, as well as their own workers, by wearing protective clothing, gloves, and masks, and by using appropriate ventilation and filtration equipment.
