Mold Inspection & Testing Lockport Illinois
For clients that do have elevated levels of mold in their home, we offer a full protocol for remediation. This includes a step-by-step procedure for how the work should be handled and who should be doing the work. Mold remediation is different than a typical remodeling job. When removing infected materials, you are sending thousands of mold spores into the air. For this reason, problem areas should be contained and equipped with an airscrubber while work is being completed. After contaminated materials are removed, walls must be hepa vaccumed and treated with antimicrobial solutions and sealants. These are things that professional remediation companies have the capabilities of doing that a normal contractor would not. If this type of work is attempted by someone without the proper experience, there is a high chance they will only further the air quality issues within the residence or business.
When dealing with these types of issues in your house or business, you want to make sure that you hire a company without a conflict of interest. Hiring a Lockport, Illinois mold remediation company to carry out an inspection is an example of what you don’t want to do. These companies often offer free inspections to get their foot in their door to pitch a larger, more expensive job. As we already mentioned, sometimes people have results that come back with no problem at all or one small enough to be handled on their own. A visual inspection could never tell you these types of details and some mold restoration companies would not leave behind the opportunity for work by letting you know your concerns are uncalled for.
