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
Mold can come from many sources, including on clothing, pets, through open doors and windows, and because of excessive moisture, often in the aftermath of water damage. When it enters your home and begins to cause mold problems, it’s in your best interest to have professional mold remediation performed to help ensure safety and effectiveness.
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. Given its potential to cause allergens and irritants that may cause health effects, our services will help maintain your peace of mind while our professionals work to clean up the mold as quickly as possible.
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
Our insurance agent recommended SERVPRO of Oak Park when our upstairs bathroom toilet overflowed into the our living room. They were prompt and very good. Our living room was a mess but they took care of everything, even moving some old furniture to the garage for us as a courtesy.
Our basement got 5 feet of water and SERVPRO of Oak Park pumped out all the water and helped us through the process of getting everything back to normal.
I called another restoration company for a quote on the damage done in my basement from a broken sump pump. The estimate was extremely high so I called SERVPRO of Oak Park. They got there right away, provided me with a much more reasonable estimate and started the job that day. They did a great job and the techs were very personable and polite. I was very happy with the work they did.
"We had an excellent experience, thank you for your prompt professional and exceptional service."
Our sump pump failed and our 2000 sq ft carpeted basement was sopping wet. Our State Farm rep recommended SERVPRO and they were amazing. Ed and his team came the next morning and spent the next few days pumping out water, tearing out carpet, wiping the floor with antimicrobial agents and drying everything with fans and dehumidifiers. The communication and professionalism were great, and I wouldn’t call anyone else for any cleanup project.
"SERVPRO technician came out and gave me a free mold estimate. The technician was very helpful and explained how the whole process works. They were great."
The crew came out to my house during the Polar Vortex in early February. They were great. The job was done quickly and the crew was very polite and professional.
"I cam home from a weekend away and found that water had leaked all over my kitchen from a pipe. SERVPRO was there all evening fixing the damage. They were great and got my kitchen back to normal within days."
We had a pipe break in our 2nd story bathroom and the water ran down to our kitchen. SERVPRO of Oak Park was great. They arrived within an hour and did a great job cleaning up the water and working around our large family. Thank you SERVPRO!
