Our shower grout kept growing mold no matter how often we scrubbed it. Turned out our exhaust fan was barely pulling any air at all. They fixed the tile and were upfront that the fan needed attention too.

After a pipe leak we had mold in the crawl space. They sealed the area, removed the mold, and left everything spotless.
Our process
Our bathroom mold remediation process in Pontoon Beach, IL
Inspect
We check grout lines, caulk, drywall around the tub or shower, and behind the toilet for hidden staining.
Test the fan
We check whether the exhaust fan is properly sized and actually venting outside, not just running.
Remove
Mold in grout, caulk, and any affected drywall or subfloor is removed or treated as appropriate.
Dry
Air movers dry out affected framing and drywall so nothing gets sealed back up while still damp.

Good to know
Bathroom Mold Remediation in Pontoon Beach, IL: common questions
Can I clean bathroom mold myself?
Light surface mold on tile or grout can often be managed with regular cleaning. If it keeps returning quickly or has spread to drywall, that usually points to a moisture or ventilation issue worth having checked.
Is it my exhaust fan or a plumbing leak?
Mold concentrated around the shower and ceiling usually points to ventilation. Mold near the base of the toilet, under the vanity, or along the floor is more likely a slow leak, which we'll check for separately.
How long should I run my bathroom fan after a shower?
A common guideline is 20 to 30 minutes after showering to fully clear humid air. If your fan can't keep up with that even when it's working properly, it may be undersized for the room.
How soon can you start bathroom mold remediation in Pontoon Beach?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Pontoon Beach home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Why does my bathroom mold keep coming back?
Recurring mold almost always points to insufficient ventilation, either a fan that's too small, not vented properly, or not run long enough after showers. We check this as part of every job.
Will you remove and replace my grout?
We can remove and treat affected grout and caulk as part of the job. Full re-tiling is outside our scope, but we'll let you know if that's what the situation calls for.
Do I need to leave my Pontoon Beach home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Pontoon Beach home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Pontoon Beach?
Yes. We cover all of Pontoon Beach, including Mitchell, Granite City, Madison, and the rest of the Pontoon Beach area. We are based in Glen Carbon, about 10 minutes from our Glen Carbon base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
