Where the water is getting in

Mold needs moisture, so the job starts with the damp, not with a spray bottle. Indevcon investigates the sources of moisture intrusion, and the places that work usually leads are the ones where water hides: attics, crawlspaces and basements.

Call Glenn at (815) 758-6896 and describe what you see and smell. Estimates are free, and a homeowner in DeKalb or anywhere in Northern Illinois can start that conversation with a phone call.

A cleanup that leaves the leak in place is a cleanup that comes back. That is why the written scope covers abatement of the moisture source along with the mold itself.

What is growing, and how far has it spread?

Air and surface analysis tell you what is actually present, which a stain on a wall cannot. Indevcon identifies the source organisms and their potential to result in adverse health effects, so the plan fits the mold you have.

Then comes the boundary: delineating the extent of the mold. Sheetrock and other building materials can hold more than the visible patch, and the remediation only works if the whole footprint is on the page before anyone starts cleaning.

Fungal kill, encapsulation, and a second round of sampling

Indevcon recommends prudent remediation measures and prepares the specifications for them: full spectrum fungal kill, disinfecting and encapsulation, with sheetrock work and air filtration where the job calls for them.

Work does not end when the cleaning does. Oversight continues through the job, and post-remediation sampling is what shows whether the mold is gone. That second round of air and surface results is the proof you keep.
