The mold remediation and removal process in Upper Alton, IL

The affected area in the East Alton home is checked, moisture readings are taken, and the growth is traced to its source before a written scope is issued.

Plastic sheeting and negative air pressure keep mold spores contained to the work zone while technicians operate.
Remove
Contaminated drywall, insulation, and other porous materials are removed and bagged; hard surfaces are HEPA-vacuumed and treated.
Dry
Commercial air movers and dehumidifiers bring the space back to a safe moisture level to prevent mold from returning.
