We had no idea our bathroom fan was venting straight into the attic until they pointed it out. The mold on the sheathing was cleaned up and they explained exactly why it kept coming back after we'd tried dealing with it ourselves.

Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
The mold clearance report was accepted by our insurance with no issues. Smooth process overall.

Good to know
Attic Mold Removal in Aurora, IL: common questions
How do I know if I have attic mold?
Most homeowners don't see it directly since attics aren't visited often. Signs include a musty smell near the attic access, dark staining you notice while up there for another reason, or a bathroom fan that seems to run into open space rather than outside.
Do you replace all the insulation?
Only the insulation that's wet, compressed, or contaminated. Insulation outside the affected area usually doesn't need to be touched.
Will you check my attic ventilation even if I don't have visible mold?
Yes, if you're concerned about a musty smell or just want a general check, we can inspect ventilation and moisture levels without assuming there's already a problem.
Will my insurance cover attic mold removal in Aurora?
It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. We bill your carrier directly and document the loss so your Aurora claim moves.
Is attic mold from a roof leak different to treat than mold from ventilation?
The removal process is similar, but the fix afterward is different. A roof leak needs roofing repair to stop future water intrusion; a ventilation issue needs the exhaust routing or soffit airflow corrected.
Can attic mold affect the air quality in my house?
It can, especially if there's airflow between the attic and living space through gaps, can lights, or the attic access hatch. That's part of why we contain the access point during work.
Do I need to leave my Aurora home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Aurora home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Aurora?
Yes. We cover all of Aurora, including Montgomery, North Aurora, Boulder Hill, and the rest of the Aurora area. We are based in Winfield, about 20 minutes from our Winfield base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
