Location: Elgin, IL
Property Type: Residential home (renovation project managed by a commercial contractor)
Mold Solutions was contracted by PM Construction & Contracting LLC to provide professional mold remediation services for a residential property in Elgin, Illinois. The home was scheduled for a complete renovation, including a new floor plan, but visible mold growth discovered during the initial walkthrough raised serious health and safety concerns.
The property had been vacant for nearly two years, increasing the likelihood of moisture-related issues and widespread mold contamination. Due to future occupants having mold-related health conditions, it was critical that the home be fully remediated and cleared before construction could begin.
During the contractor’s initial site walkthrough, visible mold growth was identified on multiple levels of the home. Because the exact timeline of the mold development was unknown and the house had remained unoccupied for an extended period, the scope of the issue was uncertain.
Key Challenges Included:
The property was deemed uninhabitable prior to remediation.
The Mold Solutions team conducted a full visual inspection of the entire property, including the main level and basement. Based on the findings, both levels were classified as uninhabitable, and a comprehensive remediation plan was developed.
The project required a multi-phase approach to ensure the property was fully dried, remediated, and safe for renovation:
Unexpected moisture within building materials required the team to adjust the remediation timeline, prioritizing drying before continuing demolition. This proactive step ensured effective mold removal and long-term prevention.
Project Duration: Approximately 1–2 weeks from start to finish
Disruption Minimization: Not applicable — property was vacant
Mold Solutions advised the client to:
These steps help prevent future mold growth during and after construction.
For PM Construction & Contracting LLC, the most important factors during this project were trust, responsiveness, and timing. Mold Solutions delivered a clear remediation plan, adapted quickly to unexpected conditions, and completed the work efficiently so the renovation process could continue without delay.
