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 took care of mold in our rental property and worked directly with our tenants. Zero complaints.
Our process

Good to know
Water Damage Mold Cleanup in Colvin Park, IL: common questions
How soon can mold grow after water damage?
Under the right conditions mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours of a surface staying wet, which is why fast drying matters as much as the cleanup itself.
Will insurance cover water damage mold cleanup?
Coverage depends on your policy and the cause of the water intrusion. We document the damage thoroughly and can work directly with your carrier.
Can I just dry it out myself with fans?
Fans can help with surface moisture, but they usually can't dry a wet wall cavity or subfloor completely, and mold can start before it's fully dry.
Will my insurance cover water damage mold cleanup 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.
Do you handle both the drying and the mold removal?
Yes, our crew handles moisture mapping, structural drying, and mold removal as one coordinated job instead of separate visits.
What if the water damage happened weeks ago?
Older water damage often means mold has already started behind walls or under flooring. We inspect thoroughly since the visible damage rarely matches what's hidden inside the cavity.
How soon can you start water damage mold cleanup in Colvin Park?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Colvin Park home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Do you serve Colvin Park?
Yes. We cover all of Colvin Park, including Kingston, Kirkland, Garden Prairie, and the rest of the Colvin Park area. We are based in Genoa, about 10 minutes from our Genoa base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
