Contain
The area is sealed with containment and negative air pressure using HEPA filtration before any removal begins.

Affected porous materials like drywall and insulation are removed; structural surfaces like concrete are cleaned and treated.

Good to know
Basement Mold Removal in Hillside, IL: common questions
Is mold in an unfinished basement less concerning?
An unfinished basement is easier to inspect but not safer. Active growth on surfaces still requires removal while the moisture source exists.

The line is answered 24/7, and a crew can usually reach a Hillside home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
