Good to know
Residential Mold Remediation in Smithton, IL: common questions
Can we stay in the house during residential mold remediation?
In most cases yes, especially for an isolated area like a basement or bathroom. If a specific project calls for different arrangements, you will hear that before the work starts.
Do furniture and belongings get protected during the work?
Yes. Items in and around the work area are covered or moved out, and only what cannot reasonably be salvaged is removed.

Basement moisture, whether from a leak, condensation against a cold foundation wall, or ground moisture under an older crawl space.
Do I need to leave my Smithton home during the work?
Usually no. The work area is sealed under negative air, so most of the Smithton home stays livable. On a larger job, the technician on site will say if it is better to step out for a day.
How long does a typical residential job take?
It varies with size and scope, but many single-room or basement projects in Columbia wrap within a few days, drying included.
Will my homeowners insurance be handled?
