What Is the Mold Remediation Process?
Air Filtration
Our specialized filtration equipment allows our professionals to capture microscopic mold spores out of the air. We utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process.
Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials
We use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to treat mold colonies. When necessary to remediate heavy mold growth, our mold removal process includes the removal and disposal of mold-infested porous materials such as carpeting, drywall, and insulation.
Cleaning
Our professionals clean the structural elements that were infected by mold such as flooring, framing, fixtures, HVAC and mechanical systems. We will also work to improve the indoor air quality (IAQ) of the space. Other items may also require extra attention after a mold infestation, including curtains, décor and important documents.
Restoration
Depending on the level of mold damage, drywall, subfloors, and other building materials may be removed. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet. It may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in your home.
Emergency Contact
The mold cleanup and restoration process begins when you call us. Our specialist will ask a series of questions to help us determine the necessary equipment, resources, and personnel needed for you and your home.
Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
Our professionals will carefully inspect your property for visible signs of mold. Using a variety of technologies, we can detect mold and locate any hidden water sources so the mold will not return once the area is cleaned and the mold removal process has been completed.
Mold Containment
We use various containment procedures to prevent the spread and cross-contamination of mold. All fans and heating and cooling systems will be turned off to prevent the spread as our professionals work to mitigate your mold problem.

Residential Mold Removal

Our professionals are equipped to assess the mold and provide remediation services, using advanced equipment and techniques to help ensure its source is located, and the mold is remediated.

Commercial Mold Remediation
Mold can enter your business in a variety of ways. Once spotted, it’s important you contact a cleanup and restoration company like SERVPRO as soon as possible. Given its ability to spread in 72 hours or less, and the possibility of allergens and irritants that may cause health effects as a result, time is of the essence when mold spreads in your business or commercial property.
We understand the urgency of returning your business to functioning condition, given that every hour of closed business is an hour of lost production and revenue. Take the necessary steps to help protect your customers, employees, and the health of your business by having our team assess and remediate any mold damage that may have grown in your commercial space.
What our
customers are saying
We were pulling out our last few Christmas decoration boxes and we saw it; mold!! It wasn't a lot, but I was scared because we have 2 kids under 3 years old.
We called SERVPRO of Elgin, and Diana was so helpful and reassuring. We scheduled an inspection with Dennis and he assured us that the mold was isolated and that SERVPRO could handle it quickly.
Ray and Raymond (cute!) came to our house and were able to remove the mold damaged drywall and cleanup the entire area. Their drywaller Caesar was out the next day! Our home was completed before Christmas and I couldn't be happier!
Thank you SERVPRO of Elgin! You are my heroes!
We had extensive mold in the basement of one of our units. We had excellent overall service from all of your crews; friendly, professional, EXCELLENT!!
I hope we never have need of your services again, but if we do you are definitely our "GO TO" service!
Thank you so much!
The work is progressing and we are satisfied with the work that has been addressed to date.
Your crew was very helpful and understanding of the questions I had about the process. Very nice guys.
My home was devastated when the floods inundated our town this past month. We had water damage in the crawlspace, first and even second floors. Patrick, Jay and all of their crews were able to demo, clean and dry our home so we were able to get our home reconstructed. "Everyone was courteous, knowledgeable and professional." I am grateful to you for all you have done for us.
Thank you for providing an informative and worthwhile class on mold. The information was presented in an easy to understand format and all questions were answered. The setting was perfect and I'd be interested in attending other classes you host in the future. "Enjoyed every minute."
The guys did a great job. They were very professional!
What a pleasure it is to write this letter.
This past winter a situation arose at my mother’s condo in Schaumburg. Due to a dishwasher leak, a very toxic mold situation developed between the walls. George, Elizabeth, and Angel made it so much easier to cope with. They went above and beyond what was necessary. Even when my mother passed away in the midst of all of this, their genuine sympathy and concern touched my heart. I was blessed to have had them helping me though all of this.
What a mess! We had a drain pipe leaking in our building. When ever the 6th floor tenant took a shower, we had water running down the inside of our walls, and no one knew.
Camil came to inspect our building because we started seeing water stains on a couple of the unit ceilings and walls. With the use of his Infrared camera, Camil was able to see that the amount of damage was much bigger than we could have ever imagined. Although we had to move 10 of our condo owners out of their units, SERVPRO was able to properly get rid of all of the wet, damaged, moldy material.
I am so thankful that I called SERVPRO of Elgin. They really made this very difficult situation manageable.

About Us
Where did we start - George and Marg Jackowiec joined the SERVPRO family back in 2003 and we love what we do! We purchased our Elgin/Northwest Kane County territory first. We purchase our 2nd territory, DeKalb County in 2020 and our Aurora territory in 2022. George and Marg Jackowiec both came from professional backgrounds but felt they wanted to have more control over their careers and make a difference!
Committed to Our Communities - The fact is that as a SERVPRO franchise we are given the opportunity to assist our neighbors and our communities in their time of need. We are called on when disaster strikes, and things look pretty dark. In many events, a SERVPRO will probably be the first person you see regarding the damage to your home, and it’s not uncommon for us to be the one to ensure the job is finalized. In addition to assisting our communities of Elgin, South Elgin, Hampshire, etc., we travel all over the country to assist during national disaster events. Our storm crews have spent a combined 17 months out of state assisting with 7 hurricane and numerous localized storm events in the last 9 years alone.
Our Employees - Our crews are some of the best trained restoration professionals you will find. But training alone isn’t what gets the job done. Our crews are experienced and have assisted homeowners and businesses in some very trying events. They also care. They care that your home or business is compromised and that you just want to get back to normal! We are here to help, just give us a call!!
Taking care of others - When in town, we also play an active role in our communities by supporting the agencies that support our citizens, such as the Community Crisis Center, Elgin Boys and Girls Club, and Elgin Fire Barn No. 5 Museum. We also are actively involved in the Elgin, Hampshire, and Northern Kane County, Aurora, DeKalb and Sycamore chambers which strive to make our communities flourish.
What do our customers say about us - Don’t take our word for it, check out our testimonials. These are the people who trusted us to help them take care of their homes and businesses in the past. See what they liked about us!!!
