Mold & Water Damage FAQs for O'Fallon, IL
Got questions? We've got answers. Learn more about our mold removal and restoration services.
How do I know if I need professional mold removal?
If you see visible mold growth covering more than 10 square feet, professional removal is strongly recommended. Persistent musty odors—even without visible mold—often indicate hidden growth behind walls or under flooring. Additionally, if your home has a history of water damage from leaks, flooding, or high humidity, a professional inspection can identify problems before they spread.
What is involved in a mold inspection?
Our mold inspection begins with a thorough visual assessment of your property to identify visible growth and water-damaged areas. We then take moisture readings using infrared cameras and pin-type meters to detect hidden moisture behind walls and ceilings. Finally, air and surface sampling is collected and sent to an accredited lab to identify mold species, spore counts, and the best remediation approach.
How much does hoarding cleanup cost in O'Fallon?
Hoarding cleanup costs depend on several factors including the volume of items to be sorted and removed, and whether biohazard materials such as animal waste or spoiled food are present. The total labor hours required also affect pricing, as larger properties take more time to clear safely. We offer free, confidential estimates so you can understand the scope before committing.
Do you handle flooded basements in O'Fallon?
Yes, flooded basement cleanup is one of our most common services in O'Fallon. Whether the flooding is caused by sump pump failures, heavy rain events, or broken pipes, we respond quickly to extract standing water. Our team is available 24/7 for emergency response, ensuring we arrive fast to minimize damage and begin the drying process immediately.
Who is responsible for sewage backup cleanup?
In most cases, the homeowner is responsible for sewage backup cleanup on their property, though the city may be liable if the issue originates from the municipal sewer line. Many homeowner insurance policies do not cover sewage backups unless you carry a specific sewer backup rider. Due to the serious health risks from bacteria and pathogens, professional cleanup is essential—never attempt sewage remediation on your own.
How long does the mold remediation process take?
Most mold remediation projects in O'Fallon are completed within a 3-5 day window, depending on the size of the affected area. This includes containment setup, removal of contaminated materials, HEPA vacuuming, and antimicrobial treatment. After remediation is complete, we conduct final air quality testing to ensure clearance levels are met before releasing the containment.
Is mold testing necessary before cleanup?
Mold testing before cleanup is highly recommended because it helps us develop the most effective remediation protocol for the specific mold species present. Many insurance companies require pre-remediation testing as documentation for claims approval. Testing also provides peace of mind by establishing baseline air quality levels that we can compare against post-remediation clearance results.
Can you work with my insurance adjuster in O'Fallon?
Absolutely. We work directly with insurance adjusters throughout the entire restoration process, maintaining clear communication at every stage. Our team provides thorough photo documentation of all damage before, during, and after remediation. We also supply digital moisture logs and detailed scope-of-work reports to ensure your claim is processed smoothly and fairly.
