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.

Good to know
HVAC & Air Duct Mold Remediation in Franklin Park, IL: common questions
How do I know if my ductwork has mold?
A musty smell that gets stronger when the HVAC system runs, or visible growth around vent covers, are the most common signs.
Will you fix the moisture causing the mold?
We identify the moisture source, whether it's condensation, a crawl space leak, or humidity issues, and either address it directly or coordinate with an HVAC technician.
Do I need to replace ductwork with mold in it?
It depends on the material and extent of growth. Metal ductwork can often be cleaned, while some flexible or fiberglass-lined duct may need replacement.
How soon can you start hvac & air duct mold remediation in Franklin Park?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Franklin Park home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Can I clean duct mold myself?
Ductwork is hard to access safely and cleaning it without proper containment can push spores through the whole house, so it's best left to a professional crew.
Does a humidifier make duct mold more likely?
It can, since evaporative coolers add significant humidity to the air moving through the ductwork, especially if the system isn't well maintained.
Will my insurance cover hvac & air duct mold remediation in Franklin 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 Franklin Park claim moves.
Do you serve Franklin Park?
Yes. We cover all of Franklin Park, including River Grove, Northlake, Stone Park, and the rest of the Franklin Park area. We are based in Schiller Park, about 5 minutes from our Schiller Park base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
