ProTech Restoration
Because it contributes to negative indoor air quality and structural damage, mold poses a huge problem for all property owners. It usually grows in areas that contain high amounts of moisture or water damage, feeding on a food source known as cellulose. Once it develops, mold can contribute to severe property damage, also spreading its spores into the breathing air. Sensitive individuals are also likely to experience health problems if mold growth is not addressed right away.
ProTech Restoration provides mold removal services in Elmhurst, IL and the surrounding areas. Our technicians use professional products, equipment, and methods to prevent the mold from spreading while removing it at the source. We will also call in a mold testing expert to provide mold testing to ensure that the fungus is completely removed and that the air quality is back to normal.
Our technicians guarantee that we will leave your property free of mold as it passes the mold clearance testing.
Mold Remediation
Mold is known to cause an array of issues for properties and people. The only requirements for it to grow include a moisture source and cellulose that is found within drywall, insulation, and carpeting. While it is most common in kitchens, attics, basements, crawlspaces, and bathrooms, it can grow anywhere in the presence of excess moisture.
Areas with mold growth will experience discoloration and surface damage, followed by structural damage if remediation does not take place right away. Mold colonies will also disperse their spores into the breathing air to develop in other areas of the home or building.
The other major issue mold causes are the negative health effects. Especially for children and the elderly, mold is very dangerous as those who experience health problems will become worse. Exposure to mold often causes the following symptoms:
- Breathing issues
- Asthma
- Allergic reactions
- Skin irritation
- Headaches
- Respiratory infections
- Eyes, nose, and throat irritations
- Cold-like symptoms
- Hypersensitivity pneumonitis
Mold Removal
As soon as you call ProTech Restoration for mold removal services, our technicians will inspect the level of damage, followed by developing a detailed remediation plan. If you are unsure of whether to file an insurance claim, our findings after the assessment can help. For those who decide to file a claim, we will bill your insurance carrier directly.
Each of our technicians are trained, experienced, and provide detailed mold removal services after passing a background check to provide complete peace of mind. Our mold removal services include each of the following:
- Detailed Inspection: The extent of the mold growth is inspected as we identify the source of the moisture that promoted the mold growth. We will also work to remove the moisture source and form a plan for remediation.
- Mold Containment: As the fungus always threatens to spread to other areas of the property, our mold removal professionals will contain the affected areas, preventing the spores from spreading.
- Air Filtration: Removing the mold is important, but it’s also important to lower the concentration of spores in the air. Using HEPA filtration machines, our technicians will restore healthy conditions within your property.
- Mold Remediation: Allowing ProTech Restoration to conduct the mold removal process is critical as it’s very difficult to remove the source from the affected materials. The project also requires that mold be removed from all areas of the home, not just the areas in which it is visible. Our professionals use HEPA vacuums to remove mold spores and professional cleaning products to remove mold stains from building materials. The structure is also treated with EPA-registered antimicrobials to prevent future growth. We will then discard any materials that cannot be saved.
- Drying: To prevent the mold from returning, we will ensure that all areas are free of moisture and help you to implement moisture management practices.
- Mold Testing/Final Inspection: After the remediation project, the property is tested for mold by a third property.
If your claim is not covered by your insurance company, we will help reduce your out of pocket expenses with our price match guarantee. If you received another estimate from another IICRC-certified company, we can match or beat this price.

"Had a great experience working with Marshall when we had an emergency leak at my mom’s house. He immediately started working to salvage what we could. I felt like he absolutely understood the urgency, and treated my mom like his own! He and the rest of the team were super easy to work with and answered our (many) questions along the way. They were very transparent about the process which was extremely helpful as this was our first time with this kind of issue in 30+ years of owning the house. We so appreciate ProTech for aiding us during our time of need."

"My experience with ProTech was wonderful from the first visit thru the last. Ben did a great job of evaluating the work that needed to be done and explaining everything to me. Frank and Sergio were great to work with because they were pleasant AND they were so very careful about everything they did. All in all, I give the ProTech team an A+!"

"I had a pipe burst and subsequent leakage into my basement. At first I thought that we maybe stopped it in time since we could not see obvious damage but Marshall at ProTech said it would be a good idea to check it out anyway and came out within a couple of days. I’m so glad he did since there was more damage than we anticipated. Marshall explained the damage thoroughly using his imaging techniques and provided a quote within the day. Pricing was good and our insurance accepted the proposal immediately. The ProTech team was able to do the water damage mitigation about a week after the incident and on a Saturday no less. Everything was done super quickly and professionally. While I do not want to deal with any more water damage, the repairs using ProTech were painless. I would recommend this company and especially Marshall to anyone in the same situation."
