Our Mundelein and North Wauconda teams are trusted leaders in mold mitigation and restoration services.?Microscopic mold spores are always present in the Earth’s atmosphere, and once the mold spores find the optimum growing conditions, the mold can become visible in as little as 48 to 72 hours. For this reason, we will not be capable of removing every spore. Still, we can remove the mold to virtually undetectable levels.
Mold is a common challenge in Lake County, occurring year-round, especially during spring. Sometimes a mold outbreak is caused by a storm or plumbing leaks. We will assess and locate the source of the excess moisture and make repairs to discourage the mold from returning once the remediation process is complete.
Our professionals have been providing mold mitigation and remediation services for years. We follow local and state laws and protocols and can advise you on this process, and will provide guidance based on your unique circumstances.
Our technicians are trained and certified in applied microbial remediation by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). Mold is a dangerous problem that requires special equipment and chemicals to remove safely. We provide specialized cleaning services to restore mold-damaged clothing, belongings, upholstered furniture, drapes, and carpeting. Residents and businesses can rely on our Mundelein and North Wauconda team to remediate mold problems “Like it never even happened.”

Understanding Mold
Confusion and misunderstanding surround the topic of mold and mold remediation. Some restoration businesses even make claims to remove all mold from a building. This is a fallacy. Mold spores occur naturally almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. These microscopic spores float along in the air and can enter a home or business through windows and HVAC systems. Consider these facts:
- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
- Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
- Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
