Mold Remediation in Chicago Homes is Straightforward With SERVPRO's Help

Mold is a nuisance to every homeowner. It can cause health effects to everyone residing in the affected house. It is caused by water leakage into the building from sources such as burst pipes or flooding, which causes the build-up of moisture.

You can hire SERVPRO to perform mold remediation in your Chicago residence. We have a well-trained team armed with top-notch equipment to help you out. We can handle the mold by taking the following steps:

Inspection and damage assessment

Upon arrival, SERVPRO can inspect the house to determine how safe it is and then fully assess the level of damage that the mold infestation has had on your building. We can use borescopes and inspection cameras to look into cavities to examine the construction method and determine the presence of visible contamination. Most borescopes and inspection cameras can take video and record still images.

Containment and filtration

We can set up containment measures to ensure mold spores do not spread to other areas. We can then use air filtration devices like air scrubbers to ensure that airborne mold spores do not spread to areas that are not affected. We can also set up ventilation measures to ensure the careful flow of air in and out of the affected area.

Removal of mold and affected materials

Our SERVPRO technicians can remove all the affected materials, most probably for disposal.

Content and belonging cleaning

We can dispose of the materials that have been adversely affected and use industrial cleaners to clean the salvageable ones. We can then apply fungicides to the materials in the affected area to kill any remaining mold and destroy spores to avoid further growth.

Restoration

Our SERVPRO team can then help you to restore your residence by replacing or repairing damaged building materials.
