Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about mold mitigation, water damage, and odor removal in Alton
How do you remove mold from inside walls?
We use a comprehensive process: borescope inspection to locate mold within wall cavities, controlled demolition to safely access affected areas, internal cavity drying to prevent recurrence, and antimicrobial fogging to eliminate spores. This ensures mold is completely removed from inaccessible areas and doesn't spread to other parts of your home.
Can ozone treatment remove smoke smells from my home or car?
Yes, ozone treatment is highly effective for smoke odors. Ozone breaks down odor molecules at the source rather than just masking the smell. It's safe for vehicles and unoccupied rooms, and works exceptionally well on tobacco smoke, fire smoke, and similar persistent odors. We ensure proper safety protocols during treatment.
What is the cost of mold mitigation in Alton?
Mold mitigation costs depend on several factors: the square footage affected, accessibility of the mold (easy vs. hard to reach), and the level of contamination. Rather than guessing, we offer free estimates where we assess your specific situation and provide an accurate quote based on the actual scope of work needed.
How do I get rid of a skunk smell in my house?
Skunk odor requires a multi-step approach: enzymatic neutralizers break down the odor compounds, air scrubbing removes airborne particles, and surface decontamination addresses lingering smells on materials and furnishings. This combination is more effective than simple masking or standard odor removal methods.
Is white vinegar effective for mold removal?
White vinegar is good for surface cleaning and can help prevent light mold growth, but it doesn't kill the root systems in porous materials like drywall, wood, and insulation. For anything beyond surface mold, professional remediation is recommended to ensure complete removal and prevent recurrence.
Why does my Alton basement always smell musty?
Alton basements commonly have musty smells due to high humidity levels, limestone foundation seepage (especially with the area's water table), poor ventilation that traps moisture, and active mold growth in hidden areas. We diagnose the root cause and implement solutions like moisture control, ventilation improvements, and mold remediation as needed.
What should I do immediately after a pipe bursts?
Time is critical: shut off your main water valve immediately to stop water flow, turn off electricity to affected areas for safety, call Eversafe Restoration right away for emergency water extraction, and document the damage with photos for insurance purposes. We offer 24/7 emergency response to minimize damage and prevent mold growth.
Do you offer commercial odor removal for businesses?
Yes, we specialize in commercial odor removal services including restaurant kitchen odor removal, office building sanitization, and apartment turnover services. These require different approaches than residential work, and we have the equipment and expertise to handle commercial-scale challenges while minimizing business disruption.
