We at SERVPRO are mold remediation experts, and we have the proper tools and techniques necessary to properly remediate and even remove heavy mold staining.

This air duct was thoroughly cleaned utilizing a system that includes roto-scraping, a push-pull air delivery and collection system, and a HEPA filtration system. This ensures all visible dust is removed, and 99.97% of particles are removed. Keeping the HVAC and ductwork system clean may not only drastically improve air quality indoors, but also help extend the life span of equipment by allowing it to operate at peak condition, which may save you money in the long run. 

This crawlspace in Palatine was flooded with about 12 inches of standing water after a pipe burst. This photo captures one of our technicians in a waterproof Tyvek suit in the process of pumping out the flood.

SERVPRO was hired to inspect a room for mold infestation in this administrative facility in Willowbrook after rainwater had leaked in from the roof. This room contained double layer drywall inside and out, and mold was found in between each layer. Mold remediation protocols were created by our indoor environmental professional based on our findings. This involved setting up plastic containment around the room’s entrance with an air scrubber to prevent mold spores from escaping into the rest of the facility. Affected drywall and carpeting were then removed, followed by HEPA vacuuming and wiping all horizontal surfaces with an antimicrobial agent. After work was completed, a post-remediation verification was performed, which showed mold remediation was adequately performed.

When disaster strikes, SERVPRO is ready to respond to your emergency! Time is of the essence when dealing with water damage, and that is why we make ourselves available 24/7.

On December 17th, SERVPRO had the great honor of recognizing another First Responder nominee at Itasca's Village Board Meeting. Officer Keith Endres has been in service for a little over three years, and already he has demonstrated a strong willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty. This shows in his volunteer work for the community, especially with senior citizens. For example, when a resident had issues keeping up with yard work and maintaining his place of residence, Officer Endres recruited volunteers along with himself to help out, even paying for products and tools to repair the resident's roof. Officer Endres truly models exemplary service, and it was a privilege to be able to recognize him in front of the Itasca community.

Regardless, we go to great lengths to ensure your personal contents are protected even when work is performed. This photo shows the homeowner's contents moved to the middle and covered with plastic to allow space for damaged drywall and floors to be removed while also protecting the contents from dust and debris.

On November 12th, we had the honor of attending the Rolling Meadows City Council Meeting to present Detective Mike Katsenios and Firefighter John Loesch commemorative plaques to highlight their above and beyond contributions as First Responders.
