We handle residential mold remediation for Wood River 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 15 minutes from our Glen Carbon base, so we can usually reach a Wood River home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
