Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Franklin Park-area neighbors
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 found black mold behind our bathroom wall and had it removed the same week. Clean, fast, and professional.
Our process

Inspect
We assess how far floodwater traveled and which materials absorbed it, room by room.
Contain
We section off affected areas so cleanup work doesn't spread contamination to dry parts of the home.

Water-damaged drywall, flooring, and insulation are removed, since flood water often can't be fully sanitized in place.

Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers dry the structure to normal moisture levels.

Good to know
Flood & Storm Mold Cleanup in Franklin Park, IL: common questions
How fast should I call after a flood?
As soon as it's safe. Mold risk climbs quickly once materials stay wet, so the sooner cleanup starts, the more of the structure can typically be saved.
Can I stay in my home during flood mold cleanup?
It depends on how much of the home was affected. We'll walk you through what areas need to be closed off during the work.
Will my homeowners policy cover storm-related mold?
Coverage depends on your specific policy and the source of the water. We document everything thoroughly to support your claim.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after flood & storm mold cleanup?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Franklin Park home.
Is flood water mold cleanup different from a regular leak?
Yes, flood water can carry contaminants, so porous materials that got wet are often removed rather than dried and reused.
Do you handle basement flooding from spring rain?
Yes, spring runoff and spring rain flooding into basements and crawl spaces is common in Schiller Park and we handle it regularly.

Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Cook County.
