Local knowledge
Residential Mold Remediation for DeKalb, IL homes
Residential Mold Remediation in DeKalb tends to start the same way mold does across DeKalb County: heavy rain and seasonal flooding pushing water toward foundations and crawl spaces. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Cortland, Sycamore, Malta and the rest of DeKalb call us.
We handle residential mold remediation for DeKalb 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 DeKalb home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
