Local knowledge
Residential Mold Remediation for Five Points, IL homes
Residential Mold Remediation in Five Points tends to start the same way mold does across DeKalb County: air conditioning condensation feeding mold on cool basement and closet walls. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Sycamore, DeKalb, Cortland and the rest of Five Points call us.
We handle residential mold remediation for Five Points 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 10 minutes from our Genoa base, so we can usually reach a Five Points home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
