Mold Inspection in Bethalto, IL: common questions
Is visible mold required to schedule an inspection?

You receive a full explanation of the findings and a written remediation scope outlining the necessary steps, empowering you to make an informed decision.
Do I need to leave my Bethalto home during the work?
Usually no. The work area is sealed under negative air, so most of the Bethalto home stays livable. On a larger job, the technician on site will say if it is better to step out for a day.
