We noticed a smell coming from under the sink and figured it was just old cabinet wood. There was actually a slow leak that had been going for a while. They caught it before it reached the subfloor and were quick about the whole thing.

Our process
Our kitchen mold remediation process in Marengo, IL
Inspect
We check under the sink, behind and under the fridge, and around the dishwasher for signs of moisture and staining.
Trace the leak
We identify whether the source is plumbing, an appliance line, or condensation buildup before removing anything.
Remove
Affected cabinet material, subfloor, or drywall is removed; salvageable surfaces are cleaned and treated.
Dry
Cabinets and flooring are dried thoroughly, since cabinet interiors trap moisture longer than open rooms.

Local knowledge
Kitchen Mold Remediation for Marengo, IL homes
Kitchen Mold Remediation in Marengo tends to start the same way mold does across McHenry County: humid seasons that keep indoor moisture high for weeks at a time.

We handle kitchen mold remediation for Marengo the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Genoa, about 20 minutes from our Genoa base, so we can usually reach a Marengo home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

A Marengo home that needs Kitchen Mold Remediation almost always has a moisture story behind it, and it usually starts with roof and plumbing leaks in Marengo homes.

Good to know
Kitchen Mold Remediation in Marengo, IL: common questions
How do I know if my kitchen leak has caused mold?
Warped or swollen cabinet wood, a persistent musty smell near the sink or fridge, or discoloration on cabinet backs are the main signs. If any of these are present, it's worth having the area checked.
Will I need new cabinets?
It depends on the material and how long they were exposed to moisture. Particleboard bases usually need replacement once saturated; solid wood can often be cleaned and treated instead.
Can a refrigerator water line really cause mold?
Yes, a loose or cracked ice-maker line fitting can leak slowly behind or under the fridge for a long time before anyone notices, since that area isn't checked often.
Will my insurance cover kitchen mold remediation in Marengo?
It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. We bill your carrier directly and document the loss so your Marengo claim moves.
Do you fix the leak too?
We identify the likely source of moisture, but plumbing or appliance repair itself is outside our scope. We'll tell you clearly what needs fixing so you can get it addressed.
Is it safe to keep cooking in my kitchen during remediation?
In many cases, yes, especially if the affected area is limited to under-sink cabinetry or a small section. We'll walk you through what to expect based on the specific scope of your job.
Is the kitchen mold remediation you do in Marengo to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across McHenry County.
Do you serve Marengo?
Yes. We cover all of Marengo, including Indian Trails, Union, Garden Prairie, and the rest of the Marengo area. We are based in Genoa, about 20 minutes from our Genoa base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
