Reviews

Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
They worked around our schedule and finished the attic mold removal over one weekend.

Good to know
Mold Clearance Testing in Colvin Park, IL: common questions
Is clearance testing required after every remediation project?
It isn't always required, but it's commonly requested for insurance claims, real estate closings, or landlord-tenant situations where documented proof matters.
What happens if the area doesn't pass clearance?
It means additional work is needed in a specific area before retesting. We'll identify exactly what needs attention.
Can I use clearance testing results for an insurance claim?
Yes, a documented clearance report is commonly used to support insurance claims and confirm project completion.
Do I need to leave my Colvin Park home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Colvin Park home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
How soon after remediation can clearance testing happen?
We wait for the appropriate post-remediation period so the space and any treatments have settled before sampling, which gives more reliable results.
Do you use the same lab for clearance as for initial testing?
We use an independent laboratory for clearance sampling so the results are objective and not tied to the remediation work itself.
Will my insurance cover mold clearance testing in Colvin Park?
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 Colvin Park claim moves.
