Chicago Basement Dampness and Mold

When a basement, whether in Chicago or some other place, has poor circulation, high humidity levels, and lack of sunlight, there is always a food source to allow dormant mold spores to flourish. The mold stains on the walls and concrete floor are unsightly, but the fungi also degrade the air quality of this basement that may affect the entire structure. SERVPRO AMRT technicians have the training, and equipment to remediate this mold problem quickly. After cleaning the patches while HEPA filtered air scrubbers are clarifying the air, the contained area is relatively mold-free. Fogging an antimicrobial agent, then a refreshing deodorizer, the After Photo can be the typical result. But, we would also advise the client for a permanent dehumidifier to be installed to regulate the RH in this sub ground space. For a safe home, count on SERVPRO for the right mold remediation solution.
