"Called back and came the same day to get samples for testing. Worked with us and the flooring company so the tear up and clean up where done within a day of each other so we were not put out with a torn up house. Very friendly and professional."

"A couple months late with this review but JT was great and he’ll be my first call if I ever have any mold issues again. I had a bunch of vintage items that I didn’t realize had mold and when I tried to clean them, I made it worse. I got rid of them but was worried mold had spread in the air. JT did a walk through & recommended air testing. He gave lots of explanation about mold, treatments, etc so I thoroughly understood my situation and air test results in context. No sales pressure, just a straightforward, knowledgeable guy. Collected the outside air sample (the baseline for comparison) during a polar vortex and hustled to make the last Fedex pickup on Friday night so test results would come back ASAP. Has an independent lab do the analysis of air samples and report, which is good practice. Plus, we are getting bonus mileage out of the air purifiers we got now that it’s allergy season. Good guy, good communication, good job!"
Large attic before remediation. This attic was covered very heavily in mold.

"Alliance was extremely professional and did a wonderful job explaining in detail exactly what would be done. They were extremely careful at making sure that they removed the mold and our insulation without compromising the rest of our house. Their employees were extremely prompt, polite and knowledgeable. We had an outside company test once Alliance was done and the mold was successfully removed the first time. We would highly recommend them."

"We used Newman Restoration Services upon a recommendation to repair damage left by bats in our attic.  Newman is the guy to call if you have had bats in your attic! He completely cleaned out 2 of our attics and replaced insulation. He encountered a mold issue as well which he resolved at no extra hassle for us! <br /> <br /> <br /> Mike, the owner, personally come out to our home and inspected that damage, drafted our quote, and even coordinated with our insurance company. He made this experience painless! <br /> <br /> <br /> Better yet, he completed the repair work over the course of a week that we were on vacation. This  limited the headache of being in the home while major work was being done and having to live among the project mess. When we returned home, there was no evidence that anyone had even been in our home at all. His crew was professional, clean and respectful of our home especially since a majority of the work was being done above our sons nursery.  <br /> <br /> <br /> I am very pleased with the work Newman Restoration Services completed and will be calling them again if needed!"

"<p>The inspection went very well.  The inspector returned my calls promptly before scheduling the appointment, he explained how he would perform the work and scheduled us promptly, he was even willing to schedule us on a weekend. He arrived on time and was very friendly and professional. The inspection was very detailed, he visually inspected all relevant areas of the property on both the inside and outside of the building. He visually inspected all possible water entry areas on three levels of the house to identify any water damage or presence of mold. An air quality test was performed using high tech equipment on each level of the home to check for the presence of mold particles in the ar. </p> <p>We received a written report from an accredited lab with results of the air mold inspection within a week after completion of the work. A summary was provided by the inspector including photos and detailed explanations of his findings.  We were very pleased with the quality of the service provided and would definitely use this company again. </p> <br />"

FAQs for mold & toxic material test projects in Dekalb, IL

Some companies offer a no‑cost phone or video consultation that screens for red flags. If the discussion points to a real issue, the pro will recommend a paid on‑site inspection. The complimentary call clarifies whether you need full testing, but it isn’t a substitute for samples, lab work, or a written report. Always confirm what the free service covers before you schedule.

A standard inspection, which includes basic air and surface samples, takes an average of two hours. If the pro needs to probe hidden spaces, such as wall cavities or ductwork, plan on up to six hours. Extra time allows the inspector to reach tight areas, collect additional samples, and document findings. Lab analysis is a separate process and often adds several business days to the overall timeframe before you receive the full report.

Mold thrives where moisture lingers and air flow is poor. Common hotspots include bathroom walls, kitchen backsplashes, window sills, HVAC vents, fireplaces, crawl spaces, and enclosed attics. Check these areas regularly—especially after leaks or high‑humidity weather—to catch growth early and avoid costly repairs.

Unchecked mold can knock 20% to 37% off a home’s market value because buyers worry about hidden damage and health risks. Even after remediation, visible staining or a history of major moisture issues can still lower offers and prolong the time on the market. Addressing mold quickly protects both your property’s structural integrity and its resale appeal.
