Removing mold from Chicago apartments requires a combination of effective remediation solutions.

Apartments can be a difficult building to manage developing and spreading mold damage. With many shared walls and structural assemblies, a growing mold condition in one of these areas could impact multiple units simultaneously. Our SERVPRO professionals treat mold growth scenarios with an urgency that illustrates our understanding of the severity of these conditions.

Evaluating the Severity of the Situation

When considering the multiple types of mold removal in Chicago apartments, our experienced team of professionals can help narrow down your residence's needs. A thorough inspection of the apartment can show where specific materials have been impacted and the likely spread of active colonies.

Surface Cleaning Strategies

One of the effective methods of removing mold from hosting materials is to utilize sporicidal products in our inventory. These powerful cleaners are formulated to eliminate mold organisms on contact, allowing them to be effective on surface mold threats without additional actions. In addition, these same products can inhibit mold growth, so they can be sprayed on surfaces that have yet to support active colonies and keep the organisms from thriving in those areas.

Aggressive Cleaning and Mold Removal Methods

There are times when more than surface cleaning is needed to eliminate active colonization and the effect of mold on structural elements. Abrasive cleaning and aggressive tactics can penetrate beyond the surface to remove the entire hyphae of a threatening organism. Some of the measures for this include:

  • Sponge pressure cleaning
  • Media blasting
  • Sanding
  • Controlled demolition

With several possible effective methods for removing mold growth in area homes and apartments, our SERVPRO of Marquette Park / West Lawn / Ford City professionals can help when you need it most. The fast spread of mold damage can be stopped with a phone call to (773) 337-3993.
