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.
Quick scheduling, fair price, spotless cleanup. The mold in our laundry room is history.

Local knowledge
Sewage Mold Remediation for Aurora, IL homes
Sewage Mold Remediation in Aurora tends to start the same way mold does across Kane County: older Aurora homes with finished basements and low ventilation that let damp air linger. 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 sewage mold remediation 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.

Good to know
Sewage Mold Remediation in Aurora, IL: common questions
Is a sewage backup more dangerous than a regular water leak?
Yes, sewage contamination carries health hazards a clean water leak doesn't, which is why porous materials are typically removed rather than dried and reused.
Does sewage cause mold faster than clean water?
The combination of moisture and organic contamination can create favorable conditions for mold to develop quickly, so fast response matters.
Will insurance cover a sewage backup?
Coverage depends on your specific policy, sometimes requiring a sewer backup rider. We document the damage thoroughly to support your claim.
Is the sewage mold remediation you do in Aurora to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Kane County.
Should I try to clean up a sewage backup myself?
It's best to avoid direct contact and call a professional crew, since proper protective equipment and disposal practices are important for safety.
What materials do you remove after a sewage backup?
Porous materials like carpet, carpet padding, and drywall that contacted sewage are generally removed and disposed of rather than cleaned in place.
