What Is the Mold Remediation Process?
Air Filtration
Our specialized filtration equipment allows our professionals to capture microscopic mold spores out of the air. We utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process.
Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials
We use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to treat mold colonies. When necessary to remediate heavy mold growth, our mold removal process includes the removal and disposal of mold-infested porous materials such as carpeting, drywall, and insulation.
Cleaning
Our professionals clean the structural elements that were infected by mold such as flooring, framing, fixtures, HVAC and mechanical systems. We will also work to improve the indoor air quality (IAQ) of the space. Other items may also require extra attention after a mold infestation, including curtains, décor and important documents.
Restoration
Depending on the level of mold damage, drywall, subfloors, and other building materials may be removed. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet. It may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in your home.
Emergency Contact
The mold cleanup and restoration process begins when you call us. Our specialist will ask a series of questions to help us determine the necessary equipment, resources, and personnel needed for you and your home.
Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
Our professionals will carefully inspect your property for visible signs of mold. Using a variety of technologies, we can detect mold and locate any hidden water sources so the mold will not return once the area is cleaned and the mold removal process has been completed.
Mold Containment
We use various containment procedures to prevent the spread and cross-contamination of mold. All fans and heating and cooling systems will be turned off to prevent the spread as our professionals work to mitigate your mold problem.

What our
customers are saying
"We had an excellent experience, thank you for your prompt professional and exceptional service."
The crew came out to my house during the Polar Vortex in early February. They were great. The job was done quickly and the crew was very polite and professional.
I called another restoration company for a quote on the damage done in my basement from a broken sump pump. The estimate was extremely high so I called SERVPRO of Oak Park. They got there right away, provided me with a much more reasonable estimate and started the job that day. They did a great job and the techs were very personable and polite. I was very happy with the work they did.
Our insurance agent recommended SERVPRO of Oak Park when our upstairs bathroom toilet overflowed into the our living room. They were prompt and very good. Our living room was a mess but they took care of everything, even moving some old furniture to the garage for us as a courtesy.
My brother in law is a State Farm agent and he recommended that we call SERVPRO of Oak Park when our basement flooded. We called them and couldn't have been happier. The job was started right away and the techs were very polite and helpful. I even asked them to move some furniture for me that was not part of the job and they did it happily.
"SERVPRO technician came out and gave me a free mold estimate. The technician was very helpful and explained how the whole process works. They were great."
"I cam home from a weekend away and found that water had leaked all over my kitchen from a pipe. SERVPRO was there all evening fixing the damage. They were great and got my kitchen back to normal within days."
Our sump pump failed and our 2000 sq ft carpeted basement was sopping wet. Our State Farm rep recommended SERVPRO and they were amazing. Ed and his team came the next morning and spent the next few days pumping out water, tearing out carpet, wiping the floor with antimicrobial agents and drying everything with fans and dehumidifiers. The communication and professionalism were great, and I wouldn’t call anyone else for any cleanup project.
"The team made this bad situation much easier to deal with. They did a great job."
