Contain
The basement area is sealed with containment and negative air pressure using HEPA filtration before work begins.
Remove
Affected porous materials are removed and bagged; structural surfaces are cleaned and treated with antimicrobial solutions.
Dry

Good to know
Basement Mold Removal in Marengo, IL: common questions
Is mold in an unfinished basement a concern?
An unfinished basement allows easier inspection, but active mold growth on surfaces or stored materials still requires proper removal.
How is the source of basement moisture determined?
Location provides clues. Growth along foundation walls suggests exterior water; growth near plumbing fixtures suggests an interior leak.
Does a finished basement increase remediation complexity?
Usually, as finished materials add to removal and drying time. A precise scope is defined after inspection and moisture mapping.
Do I need to leave my Marengo home during the work?
Usually no. The work area is sealed under negative air, so most of the Marengo home stays livable. On a larger job, the technician on site will say if it is better to step out for a day.
Can the underlying water issue be addressed?
Common sources like foundation cracks or drainage problems are identified and documented. The actual repair is handled by the appropriate trade.
Are stored items moved during the remediation?
The immediate work area is cleared. Contaminated porous items like cardboard are typically not salvageable and are identified beforehand.
