Everyone knows that moldy food looks gross. An infestation of mold in your Evanston, IL home is not just unsightly, it's a spreading hazard. Lucky for you, the

specialists of
ServiceMaster Restoration by Simons
serves the Chicago area!
So you want to handle
mold remediation
yourself? It may look like an easy job, but trust us, it's not! We are confident you will have complete satisfaction if you call the professionals at
ServiceMaster Restoration by Simons
. Think of all the dirty work, time, and elbow grease you would need, only to discover you didn't get it all.
Consider this: As part of the fungi kingdom, mold functions practically like an eating machine, specializing in digesting decaying organic matter. It spreads deep into whatever it is consuming - the stuff you see is the proverbial "tip of the iceberg!" A simple coat of paint may hide the distasteful scene, temporarily, only to allow it to re-sprout again.
ServiceMaster Restoration by Simons knows mold may not be the only problem you face - excess moisture generally goes hand-in-hand with a mold problem.
Mold removal
without moisture source discovery and remediation equals a continuing problem.
Mold's location may determine how
mold removal
can be achieved. For some materials, like unpainted drywall, you might have to replace it. And, did you know that besides the spots you see, mold spores may be lurking elsewhere? Let us help you to eliminate the mold removal worry. Mold only needs 24-48 hours to start growing. Do not wait another minute!
