Mold removal and environmental services help contain and safely eliminate hazardous contaminants such as mold, asbestos, and lead from affected properties.
Restore Construction provides environmental services for mold, asbestos, and lead-related concerns. When these environmental contaminants are present in a property, additional safety measures must be followed to help protect the health of those who come into contact with contaminated materials. Additionally, there are federal and state regulations that apply to the proper handling and abatement of asbestos and lead.
We also provide related services such as water damage restoration and fire damage restoration to support complete property recovery.
How Does Mold Remediation Work?
Mold remediation helps contain, remove, and properly address mold growth within a property to help prevent further spread and damage.
Mold growth can occur in any property where there is increased humidity or a moisture source such as a leaking roof or pipe, combined with organic material. Mold commonly grows on walls, ceilings, and floors, and can also be hidden on joists, framing materials, insulation, and other building materials. Because mold spores can spread easily through the air, proper containment and remediation is critical.
During the remediation process, affected materials are identified and isolated, containment barriers may be installed, and specialized equipment such as HEPA air filtration devices is often used to help capture airborne particles. Depending on the severity of the damage, contaminated materials may be cleaned, treated, or removed and replaced to help restore a safe and healthy environment.

Asbestos Removal
Asbestos removal helps safely contain and eliminate hazardous asbestos-containing materials from a property while following strict health and safety regulations.
Asbestos was commonly used in a number of building materials through the 1970s, including insulation, flooring, and roofing materials. When asbestos-containing materials are damaged or disturbed, microscopic fibers can become airborne and enter the respiratory system, posing significant health risks to those exposed.
If asbestos-containing materials are present in your property and have been damaged, or if renovation or demolition work is planned, proper removal procedures are critical to preventing the spread of airborne fibers. During the asbestos removal process, affected areas are carefully contained, specialized protective equipment and HEPA filtration may be used, and contaminated materials are safely removed and disposed of in accordance with applicable federal and state regulations.
Lead Removal
Lead removal helps safely contain and eliminate lead-based materials from a property while reducing the risk of exposure to hazardous lead dust and debris.
Lead poses a significant health risk and is most commonly found in older homes and properties containing lead-based paint. When lead-containing materials are damaged, disturbed, or removed during restoration, renovation, or remodeling projects, lead dust can become airborne and be inhaled or ingested.
During the lead removal process, affected areas are carefully contained to help prevent the spread of contamination throughout the property. Specialized safety procedures, protective equipment, and HEPA filtration may be used to safely remove contaminated materials and complete cleanup in accordance with applicable federal and state regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you respond to mold issues in Chicago?
We provide 24/7 emergency mold removal services and can respond quickly to properties throughout the Chicagoland area to assess and address mold problems.
Is mold dangerous to my health?
Mold exposure can cause respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and other health concerns, especially for individuals with sensitivities or weakened immune systems. Professional removal is recommended.
What is the difference between mold testing and mold remediation?
Mold testing identifies the presence and type of mold, while mold remediation focuses on safely removing mold and preventing it from returning.
How long does mold removal take?
The timeline depends on the size and severity of the affected area. Most mold remediation projects can take anywhere from a few days to over a week.
Do you work with insurance for mold damage?
Yes, we work with insurance providers and can help guide you through the claims process when mold damage is covered under your policy.
I might have mold in my home, should I be concerned?
Keep in mind that we all deal with mold spores daily in both our indoor and outdoor environments. It is never really a question of whether you have mold in your home, but more a question of “is the mold in my home out of control?”.
Does professional mold remediation remove every mold spore in my home?
It is not reasonably possible to rid a structure of all mold spores since they are part of our everyday air. Mold remediation is about reducing elevated mold spore levels to what is considered reasonable or acceptable levels, or standards that would be considered normal.
How do I know if I have black mold?
Mold identification should never be determined by just color. Actual mold species and their toxicity can only be determined through microscopic analysis by a qualified mycologist or an Indoor Environmental Professional. The term “black mold” is usually used to describe a particular type of mold called Stachybotrys, which is known as toxic mold. However, not every mold that is black is Stachybotrys and to add to the complexity, not all toxic molds are black in color.
What is the key to controlling mold growth?
The key to avoiding a mold problem begins with controlling excess moisture. Respond to water intrusions immediately, repairing the source of excess moisture and completely drying out all affected areas. The standard target for ideal indoor humidity is 30% to 55% RH.
