Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Aurora-area neighbors
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.
Very thorough mold inspection. They explained the lab results in plain words and gave us a fair quote.

Local knowledge
Mold Clearance Testing for Aurora, IL homes
Mold Clearance Testing in Aurora tends to start the same way mold does across Kane County: heavy rain and seasonal flooding pushing water toward foundations and crawl spaces. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Montgomery, North Aurora, Boulder Hill and the rest of Aurora call us.
We handle mold clearance testing for Aurora the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Winfield, about 20 minutes from our Winfield base, so we can usually reach a Aurora home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
