When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Skokie, Wilmette, Lincolnwood and the rest of Evanston pick up the phone.
Mold clearance testing for Evanston is handled the right way. The technicians find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then the area is contained and the mold is removed safely.
Evanston is about 11 miles from Schiller Park, so a crew can usually be there the same day you call. The methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
