You breathe easier. Your family stays healthier. Your home smells fresh again.
That musty basement odor disappears. Those allergy flare-ups that hit every time you go downstairs stop happening. Your kids can play in the basement without you worrying about what they’re breathing.
Your property value stays protected. You sleep better knowing the problem that’s been nagging at you for months is actually solved, not just covered up.
Most homes in your neighborhood were built between 1940 and 1969. We’ve worked in dozens of them.
Those older basements have their own personality. Stone foundations, limited ventilation, and moisture patterns that develop over decades. We know exactly where mold likes to hide in these homes and why it keeps coming back when other companies miss the real problem.
We’re not a call center or a franchise. We’re local mold treatment professionals who understand that your $395,000 investment deserves more than a quick fix.
First, we inspect everything. Not just the obvious spots, but behind walls, in crawl spaces, and anywhere moisture could be hiding. We test the air to know exactly what we’re dealing with.
Then we contain the work area so spores don’t spread to clean parts of your home. We remove contaminated materials safely and treat affected areas with EPA-approved solutions.
Most importantly, we find and fix the moisture source. Whether it’s a foundation leak, poor ventilation, or humidity problems, we solve what’s actually causing your mold problem. Without this step, you’ll just have the same issue again in six months.

In Thornridge’s older homes, we often find mold in basement storage areas, behind paneling, and in areas where the original builders didn’t account for modern moisture management. We address these specific challenges that newer companies often miss.
Most residential mold removal projects in Thornridge take 2-5 days, depending on the extent of contamination and moisture damage. Basement-only jobs in smaller ranch homes typically finish in 2-3 days.
Larger projects involving multiple levels or severe contamination can take up to a week. We always provide a clear timeline during your free inspection so you know exactly what to expect.
The timeline includes containment setup, removal of contaminated materials, treatment of affected areas, and final air quality testing to ensure the job is complete.
Insurance coverage for mold removal depends on the cause of the moisture problem. If mold resulted from a covered incident like a burst pipe or roof leak, most policies will cover remediation costs.
However, mold from long-term moisture issues, poor maintenance, or flooding typically isn’t covered. We work directly with insurance companies and can help you understand your coverage before starting work.
We provide detailed documentation and photos that insurance adjusters need for claims processing. Our estimates clearly separate covered and non-covered work so you understand all costs upfront.
In most cases, yes, but it depends on the location and extent of mold contamination. We use professional containment barriers and negative air pressure systems to prevent spores from spreading to living areas.
If the mold is in your HVAC system or covers large areas of your main living spaces, we may recommend temporary relocation for sensitive family members, especially children or those with respiratory conditions.
We always discuss safety protocols during your inspection and will clearly advise if temporary relocation is recommended. Your family’s health is our top priority throughout the entire process.
Preventing mold recurrence requires addressing the underlying moisture source, not just removing visible mold. We identify and fix what’s causing the moisture problem in the first place.
This might involve improving basement ventilation, sealing foundation cracks, fixing drainage issues, or installing dehumidification systems. We provide specific recommendations based on your home’s unique conditions.
We also apply antimicrobial treatments to treated surfaces and provide maintenance tips to keep moisture levels controlled. Many of our Thornridge clients see permanent results because we fix the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Mold exposure commonly causes allergic reactions including sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, and skin irritation. People with asthma or existing allergies often experience worsened symptoms.
Children and elderly family members are particularly susceptible to mold-related health issues. Long-term exposure can lead to more serious respiratory problems and may compromise immune system function.
If family members experience unexplained allergy symptoms that worsen at home, especially in basement areas, mold exposure could be the cause. Professional removal eliminates these health risks and often provides immediate symptom relief.
Mold removal costs vary significantly based on the contaminated area size, mold type, and required structural repairs. Small basement projects typically start around $1,500-$3,000, while whole-house remediation can reach $10,000 or more.
We provide free inspections and detailed written estimates before any work begins. Our pricing includes all containment, removal, treatment, and disposal costs with no hidden fees.
We also offer flexible payment options and work with insurance companies when coverage applies. The investment in professional removal protects both your family’s health and your home’s value long-term.
