  • Detecting and eliminating mold can assist property owners in averting potential future health and legal consequences. Indications of mold exposure include challenges in breathing, persistent coughing, and irritation in the lungs, throat, and eyes. Those particularly vulnerable to complications are people with asthma, seasonal allergies, preexisting medical conditions, young children, and the elderly.

    The growth of mold is exacerbated by elevated humidity levels, flooding, plumbing malfunctions, HVAC system glitches, roof and window leaks, inadequate ventilation, and the age of your property's structure. Moreover, materials such as particle board, drywall, and plywood are more susceptible to mold growth.

Mold Remediation Process


In Waukegan, Illinois, the local weather displays consistent shifts in temperature and humidity throughout the year. These conditions create an environment that fosters the growth of mold.

Our effective mold management strategy includes:

  • Assessment: Our dedicated team conducts an on-site evaluation to identify the underlying causes of mold growth.
  • Containment: We isolate the affected areas to prevent the spread of mold to other sections of the property.
  • Air purification: Using advanced high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, we eliminate mold and airborne pollutants.
  • Eradication: Nonporous surfaces undergo thorough cleaning, while porous materials are safely disposed of.
  • Structural drying: Treated materials undergo a meticulous drying process to ensure complete removal of any remaining moisture.
  • Restoration: Our team employs restoration methods to restore the affected areas to their original state.

Our approach strictly adheres to safety protocols as outlined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), ensuring a secure and appropriate mold removal process. Our experts hold certifications from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC). Additionally, we comply with all regulations established by local, state, and national authorities.
