Our shower grout kept growing mold no matter how often we scrubbed it. Turned out our exhaust fan was barely pulling any air at all. They fixed the tile and were upfront that the fan needed attention too.

The crew showed up on time, contained the work area, and showed me the moisture readings before and after. Tidy, careful work.
Professional containment, HEPA vacuuming, the whole process was textbook. Worth hiring certified pros.
Our process
Our bathroom mold remediation process in Phelps, IL
Inspect

We check whether the exhaust fan is properly sized and actually venting outside, not just running.
Remove
Mold in grout, caulk, and any affected drywall or subfloor is removed or treated as appropriate.

Good to know
Bathroom Mold Remediation in Phelps, IL: common questions
Can I clean bathroom mold myself?
Light surface mold on tile or grout can often be managed with regular cleaning. If it keeps returning quickly or has spread to drywall, that usually points to a moisture or ventilation issue worth having checked.
Is it my exhaust fan or a plumbing leak?
Mold concentrated around the shower and ceiling usually points to ventilation. Mold near the base of the toilet, under the vanity, or along the floor is more likely a slow leak, which we'll check for separately.
How long should I run my bathroom fan after a shower?
A common guideline is 20 to 30 minutes after showering to fully clear humid air. If your fan can't keep up with that even when it's working properly, it may be undersized for the room.
How soon can you start bathroom mold remediation in Phelps?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Phelps home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Why does my bathroom mold keep coming back?
Recurring mold almost always points to insufficient ventilation, either a fan that's too small, not vented properly, or not run long enough after showers. We check this as part of every job.
Will you remove and replace my grout?
We can remove and treat affected grout and caulk as part of the job. Full re-tiling is outside our scope, but we'll let you know if that's what the situation calls for.
Is the bathroom mold remediation you do in Phelps to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Saint Clair County.
Do you serve Phelps?
Yes. We cover all of Phelps, including Dupo, East Carondelet, Cahokia, and the rest of the Phelps area. We are based in Columbia, about 5 minutes from our Columbia base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
