Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Park Ridge-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.
Professional job on the attic mold. Price was a bit higher than the first quote, but no regrets.

Good to know
Mold After Plumbing Leak in Park Ridge, IL: common questions
How do I know if a leak caused mold?
A musty smell near a fixture, discolored cabinet backing, or soft subfloor near a sink or toilet are common signs mold has started after a leak.
Can mold grow from a leak I already fixed?
Yes, if the cavity stayed wet long enough before the repair, mold can already be established even though the leak itself is resolved.
How long does mold after a plumbing leak take to remediate?
It depends on how far the moisture traveled, but most single-fixture leaks are contained and dried within a few days once we start.

We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Park Ridge home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Should I fix the leak myself before calling?
If you can safely shut off water to the fixture, that helps limit further damage, but leave the moldy material alone and let us assess it before cleanup begins.

We coordinate with plumbers regularly so the leak repair and the mold remediation happen in the right order.
