Mold Remediation in Skokie, IL: common questions

Does insurance cover mold remediation?
Coverage depends on the cause. Mold from sudden events like a pipe burst is often covered. Insurance is accepted, and the service works with your carrier on approved claims.
Is the work done to a recognized standard?
Yes. Remediation follows the IICRC S520 standard, including containment, HEPA filtration, removal of porous materials, drying, and verification.
Do I need to leave my Skokie home during the work?
Usually no. The work area is sealed under negative air, so most of the Skokie home stays livable. On a larger job, the technician on site will say if it is better to step out for a day.
Will I need to leave my house during remediation?
It depends on the affected area's size and location. The work zone is sealed, so many homeowners stay in unaffected parts of the house.
