The crew showed up on time, contained the work area, and showed me the moisture readings before and after. Tidy, careful work.
Professional job on the attic mold. Price was a bit higher than the first quote, but no regrets.

Good to know
Rental Property Mold Remediation in Elmwood Park, IL: common questions
Are landlords responsible for mold in a rental unit?
Illinois law generally expects rental housing to be kept habitable, and significant mold tied to a moisture problem can be part of that. We aren't attorneys, so for specific legal questions we'd recommend consulting one.
Do you provide documentation for landlord-tenant disputes?
Yes, we document our findings and the work performed, and we offer optional lab testing for more objective documentation if needed.
Do you handle multi-unit rental properties?
Yes, we work with landlords and property managers on both single rental homes and multi-unit buildings around the Schiller Park area.
Do I need to leave my Elmwood Park home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Elmwood Park home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Can tenants request a mold inspection?
Tenants can raise a concern with their landlord or property manager, who can then schedule an inspection or remediation with our team.
Can you work in an occupied unit?
Yes, we contain the work area carefully to limit disruption when tenants remain in the unit during remediation.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after rental property mold remediation?
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 Elmwood Park home.
Do you serve Elmwood Park?
Yes. We cover all of Elmwood Park, including River Grove, River Forest, Oak Park, and the rest of the Elmwood Park area. We are based in Schiller Park, about 5 minutes from our Schiller Park base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
