Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Madison, IL homes
Mold Inspection in Madison tends to start the same way mold does across Madison County: humid seasons that keep indoor moisture high for weeks at a time. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Venice, Granite City, Brooklyn and the rest of Madison call us.
We handle mold inspection for Madison the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Glen Carbon, about 20 minutes from our Glen Carbon base, so we can usually reach a Madison home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
