Local knowledge
Residential Mold Remediation for Godfrey, IL homes
Residential Mold Remediation in Godfrey tends to start the same way mold does across Madison County: humid seasons that keep indoor moisture high for weeks at a time. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Upper Alton, Alton, Brighton and the rest of Godfrey call us.
We handle residential mold remediation for Godfrey 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 10 minutes from our East Alton base, so we can usually reach a Godfrey home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
