Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Aurora, IL homes
Mold Inspection in Aurora tends to start the same way mold does across Kane County: roof and plumbing leaks in Aurora homes that feed hidden mold for months before anyone notices. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Montgomery, North Aurora, Boulder Hill and the rest of Aurora call us.
We handle mold inspection for Aurora 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 Sugar Grove, about 10 minutes from our Sugar Grove base, so we can usually reach a Aurora home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
