Mold remediation in Champaign, IL

Rentals and student housing

A lot of Champaign mold questions involve rental property. Landlords want a clear scope and documentation. Tenants, and parents of students, want to know what’s actually in the apartment. Testing answers both with data rather than opinions. We sample air and settled dust, trace moisture to its source, and put the findings in writing. For multi-unit buildings, our page on apartment mold remediation explains how we contain one unit without disrupting the rest. Renters can also read our guide on getting a landlord to fix mold.

Drainage on flat land

Champaign’s flat terrain means water tends to sit rather than drain away. When it pools next to a foundation, it finds cracks, window wells and the joint between the wall and the floor. The results show up as damp lower walls, musty storage areas and mold on the back of finished drywall. Before remediation, we look at the outside of the house as well as the inside, because regrading, extending downspouts or repairing a window well is often what keeps the problem from returning. Inside, we check the sump pit and its discharge line, since a pump that empties too close to the house sends the same water right back. In winter, the same visit covers attic ventilation and window condensation.

Coming from Indiana

Every Champaign project is staffed from our Avon, Indiana office. We plan around that travel by setting testing dates in advance and booking remediation as one continuous project once you’ve approved the written scope. Lab results come back 24 to 48 hours after sampling, and we can review them with you by phone or video. For households with health concerns, we add mycotoxin testing and plan containment around the most sensitive person in the home. If a lease or closing date is involved, mention it on the first call so the testing date works around it.

We remove mold and mycotoxins from buildings. We don’t diagnose or treat medical conditions.
