"I contacted them yesterday for Mold Remediation services. I would recommend reaching out to this company for this type of service. I spoke to the owner and he was kind enough to talk me through my problem over the phone. He was completely honest up front and told me how to solve this issue on my own without spending any money. The other 2 companies I called for this service wanted to charge me a large amount upfront and I would have ended up wasting a lot of money if I hadn’t spoke to the owner of Illinois Mold Eradicator. It’s hard to find honest people now a days, I would highly recommend anyone to use this company as their first choice!"

Dark mold growth, while common, can cause allergic reactions and various symptoms even when in the attic.
Great project which ultimately lowered the indoor humidity by 20% making it more livable for the family, storage where there was none previously, and much more healthy from and indoor air quality perspective (no stinky bacteria).

"Tom went above and beyond to help me with a problem ARC Insulation found after completing my insulation job. He was very concerned about a high carbon monoxide reading from my water heater. My home warrantee company gave me "the run around" and he kept following up with me and make sure the problem was fixed!"

"Professional and top quality service from beginning to end. Robert, the sales rep, inspected our attic and instantly identified the root cause of our mold problem, matching what a separate inspector also ascertained. He worked with us to provide a fair price for a comprehensive solution that remediated the mold while also recommending an approach to the root cause. What is great about Green Attic is that they are able to handle it all...saving me time and money from having to go through separate companies to piece together the full solution. Communication throughout the entire process was timely, consistent, and pleasant. The crews who came to do the work were obviously experienced and went out of their way to ensure I was kept up to date on progress (showing me before and after pictures along the way). These guys worked hard in tough conditions and made me feel confident the job was completed to spec and with attention to detail. I couldn't be more pleased!"

"I had an ice dam in my gutter which caused extensive damage in my home. Not only did dry wall and insulation need to be replaced, but almost all the flooring on the main floor, with the exception of the bathroom. GCPro came out the night the water starting leaking and did some initial remedial work. The next morning they were there, on time, and did extensive tear down and started the drying out process. Once all that was done, they then did all the repairs. The were always on time and treated both myself and my home with respect. They cleaned up after themselves every day as best they could considering the condition of things! They were always extremely courteous and friendly. I would use them again in a heart beat and would recommend them to anyone needing repairs or wanting remodeling done. Paula R. Palatine, IL"

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Using bowls of water for humidity can be an effective way to increase the humidity level in a room, but it's essential to consider potential risks. Placing bowls of water near heat sources might pose a hazard as they could spill, causing damage or creating slip hazards. Moreover, stagnant water can become a breeding ground for bacteria or mold (you really want to get rid of black mold stat) if not changed regularly, potentially negatively affecting indoor air quality. Water bowls can also accidentally spill onto surfaces, causing water damage to furniture or flooring. Regular maintenance and cautious placement can mitigate these risks.

Many types of mold spores and fungi spores are constantly present in the air, but they need a friendly surface and moisture to grow. Should some of these spores land on paper or wood with significant moisture present—such as drywall with a paper cover that is soaking up water from a leak—mold or fungi could begin growing. Dampness from leaky pipes, condensation on windows, leaks in a roof, flooding in a basement, or high, prolonged humidity in a small area all can create the excess moisture that mold and fungi need to grow in your home.

Eliminating mold from wood permanently poses a challenge as the mold spores have the ability to deeply penetrate the porous wood surface. While surface mold can be effectively eradicated with proper cleaning and preventative measures, it's difficult to guarantee its non-recurrence under favorable conditions. To prevent mold from reappearing, it is important to identify and resolve the root cause of the moisture that triggered mold growth initially.

Ensuring appropriate ventilation and a dry environment, or consider applying protective finishes such as sealant, varnish, or paint to prevent future moisture penetration and mold growth. Consistently inspect and maintain the area to keep the wood free from mold in the long term.

Slime mold will go away on its own within a few days to a couple of weeks. Generally, there is no need to use chemicals on this matter. If you want to get rid of it right away, rake over the slime mold and the surrounding area or hose off large patches of it.

Yes. You should use this product in a well-ventilated area because the fumes can be harmful. In addition, the product is poisonous if swallowed, so keep it out of reach of children. Wood finishing products that are oil based can cause irritation to your skin, so you should always wear gloves when handling it.
