"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!"

"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!"

"They came, they saw, and they conquered! I had a sewer back-up in the utility room of my home, and had put kitty-litter to help absorb backup. Although it initially helped, it created its own mess when even more had to be put down because of additional backup. To be honest, wasn't sure if HydroForce was up to the task, especially when they had to finish up on another day. But, HydroForce proved not only to be up to the task. but did an awesome job! They cleared, cleaned, and disinfected the floor and the surrounding appliances to the point they would be affected by the back-up. The only thing I did expect that wasn't done was the use of an air scrubber or purifier because of mold/mildew concerns with water backup. However, the job they did was impressive and I will recommend them for future use."

Mold Testing and Remediation FAQs, answered by experts

While home mold tests can provide a simple identification of mold presence, they lack accuracy and reliability. These kits may detect mold spores but can't pinpoint the source or identify the type. Professional testing, combined with an inspection, is more comprehensive and leads to actionable next steps. 

While mold in the bathroom can appear black, it isn’t always the dangerous black mold strain Stachybotrys chartarum. This type of mold typically appears after a flood or a long-term leak. If you suspect black mold, you should get it tested by a local mold testing service to determine whether it’s safe to remove yourself.

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.

Both wood-burning stoves and fireplaces can emit smoke and other combustion gases that are harmful to human health. According to the American Lung Association, wood smoke can lead to coughing and wheezing as well as long-term health impacts like increased risks for heart attacks and stroke. 

Newer models meet the modern efficiency standards set in 2020 by the Environmental Protection Agency for cleaner burning, more efficient wood stoves. Regular maintenance can also minimize smoke.

When doing any type of project involving mold, it's important to wear the right protective gear. You'll want an N-95 or KN-95 mask to keep yourself from inhaling mold spores, which can be irritating or trigger an allergic reaction in people with weakened immune systems. You'll also want to wear protective eyewear and gloves to limit your contact with mold.
