24/7 Emergency Service
A Moldy Basement in Chicago
The black mold stains on the walls of this Chicago basement called for careful removal. If SERVPRO is called in for this mold remediation process, we follow a two-pronged approach. First, we scrape off the mold with HEPA air scrubbers close by to eliminate the migration of the spores to the upstairs followed by an antifungal spray for future protection. Then we advise the homeowner on ways to reduce the humid conditions in the basement that led to the mold colony proliferation. The After Photo illustrates a clean and sanitary area for now. A permanent, small dehumidifier could control the moisture content of this confined space and help to prevent future problems. For service or guidance feel free to call us at (773) 337-3993.
