Our shower grout kept growing mold no matter how often we scrubbed it. Turned out our exhaust fan was barely pulling any air at all. They fixed the tile and were upfront that the fan needed attention too.

Our process
Our bathroom mold remediation process in West Chicago, IL
Inspect
We check grout lines, caulk, drywall around the tub or shower, and behind the toilet for hidden staining.
Test the fan
We check whether the exhaust fan is properly sized and actually venting outside, not just running.
Remove
Mold in grout, caulk, and any affected drywall or subfloor is removed or treated as appropriate.
Dry
Air movers dry out affected framing and drywall so nothing gets sealed back up while still damp.

Why West Chicago homes need Bathroom Mold Remediation
Bathroom Mold Remediation is one of the more common calls we get from homeowners around West Chicago. Our crew has done Bathroom Mold Remediation across DuPage County enough to know how bathrooms moves through these homes. For a home in this area, bathroom mold remediation starts with finding the moisture, because the water is what feeds the mold.

Here is how Bathroom Mold Remediation usually goes:

- Find any hidden leak at the toilet, tub, or supply lines

Good to know
Bathroom Mold Remediation in West Chicago, IL: common questions
Can I clean bathroom mold myself?
Light surface mold on tile or grout can often be managed with regular cleaning. If it keeps returning quickly or has spread to drywall, that usually points to a moisture or ventilation issue worth having checked.
Is it my exhaust fan or a plumbing leak?
Mold concentrated around the shower and ceiling usually points to ventilation. Mold near the base of the toilet, under the vanity, or along the floor is more likely a slow leak, which we'll check for separately.
How long should I run my bathroom fan after a shower?
A common guideline is 20 to 30 minutes after showering to fully clear humid air. If your fan can't keep up with that even when it's working properly, it may be undersized for the room.
Do I need to leave my West Chicago home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the West Chicago home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Why does my bathroom mold keep coming back?
Recurring mold almost always points to insufficient ventilation, either a fan that's too small, not vented properly, or not run long enough after showers. We check this as part of every job.
Will you remove and replace my grout?
We can remove and treat affected grout and caulk as part of the job. Full re-tiling is outside our scope, but we'll let you know if that's what the situation calls for.
