After a leak behind our bathroom wall, we had a hole in the drywall for weeks waiting on a contractor to call back. This team removed the mold and rebuilt the wall themselves, and it matched the rest of the room better than I expected.

Good to know
Mold Damage Restoration in Marengo, IL: common questions
Do you handle the rebuild or just removal?
Both. We remove and dry the affected area first, then handle framing repair, drywall, insulation, and finish work so the space is fully restored, not just gutted.
Will the repaired area match the rest of my house?
We do our best to match paint, texture, and trim to the surrounding space. For older homes with discontinued materials, we'll flag that upfront rather than promise a perfect match we can't deliver.
What if more mold is found once you open the wall?
We'll stop, show you what we found, and adjust the scope before continuing. You won't be surprised by extra work you didn't approve.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after mold damage restoration?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Marengo home.
How long does the restoration phase take?
It depends on the size of the area and materials involved. A single bathroom wall might take a few days once removal is complete; a full basement rebuild takes longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline after inspection.
Can you work directly with my insurance adjuster?
Yes. We document damage and repairs throughout the job and can communicate directly with your adjuster on covered claims.
Do I need to leave my Marengo home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Marengo home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
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.
