We noticed a smell coming from under the sink and figured it was just old cabinet wood. There was actually a slow leak that had been going for a while. They caught it before it reached the subfloor and were quick about the whole thing.

Our process
Our kitchen mold remediation process in Granite City, IL
Inspect
We check under the sink, behind and under the fridge, and around the dishwasher for signs of moisture and staining.
Trace the leak
We identify whether the source is plumbing, an appliance line, or condensation buildup before removing anything.
Remove
Affected cabinet material, subfloor, or drywall is removed; salvageable surfaces are cleaned and treated.
Dry
Cabinets and flooring are dried thoroughly, since cabinet interiors trap moisture longer than open rooms.
Verify
We recheck moisture levels before closing cabinets back up or replacing removed material.

Local knowledge
Kitchen Mold Remediation for Granite City, IL homes
Kitchen Mold Remediation in Granite City tends to start the same way mold does across Madison County: plumbing leaks and poor ventilation that let damp air linger and mold spread. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Madison, Venice, Brooklyn and the rest of Granite City call us.
We handle kitchen mold remediation for Granite City 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 East Alton, about 20 minutes from our East Alton base, so we can usually reach a Granite City home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

Why Granite City homes need Kitchen Mold Remediation

When people here search for Kitchen Mold Remediation, the growth they can see is usually the last symptom, not the cause.

Good to know
Kitchen Mold Remediation in Granite City, IL: common questions
How do I know if my kitchen leak has caused mold?
Warped or swollen cabinet wood, a persistent musty smell near the sink or fridge, or discoloration on cabinet backs are the main signs. If any of these are present, it's worth having the area checked.
Will I need new cabinets?
It depends on the material and how long they were exposed to moisture. Particleboard bases usually need replacement once saturated; solid wood can often be cleaned and treated instead.
Can a refrigerator water line really cause mold?
Yes, a loose or cracked ice-maker line fitting can leak slowly behind or under the fridge for a long time before anyone notices, since that area isn't checked often.
Will my insurance cover kitchen mold remediation in Granite City?
It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. We bill your carrier directly and document the loss so your Granite City claim moves.
Do you fix the leak too?
We identify the likely source of moisture, but plumbing or appliance repair itself is outside our scope. We'll tell you clearly what needs fixing so you can get it addressed.
Is it safe to keep cooking in my kitchen during remediation?
In many cases, yes, especially if the affected area is limited to under-sink cabinetry or a small section. We'll walk you through what to expect based on the specific scope of your job.
Do I need to leave my Granite City home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Granite City home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Granite City?
Yes. We cover all of Granite City, including Madison, Venice, Brooklyn, and the rest of the Granite City area. We are based in East Alton, about 20 minutes from our East Alton base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
