Have a Mold Problem?
It only takes a small water leak, or even excess humidity, for mold to form in your home or business. Mold is a common culprit of damage in many of our homes and businesses here in Central Illinois. It can spread quickly through the property in as little as 48 hours. Mold can produce allergens and irritants, and it has the potential to cause other health effects. If your home or business has a mold problem, we can inspect and assess your property and use our specialized training, equipment, and expertise to remediate your mold infestation. Our crew has the certifications and knowledge to get the job done right.
What Is the Mold Remediation Process?
Air Filtration
Our specialized filtration equipment allows our professionals to capture microscopic mold spores out of the air. We utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process.
Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials
We use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to treat mold colonies. When necessary to remediate heavy mold growth, our mold removal process includes the removal and disposal of mold-infested porous materials such as carpeting, drywall, and insulation.
Cleaning
Our professionals clean the structural elements that were infected by mold such as flooring, framing, fixtures, HVAC and mechanical systems. We will also work to improve the indoor air quality (IAQ) of the space. Other items may also require extra attention after a mold infestation, including curtains, décor and important documents.
Restoration
Depending on the level of mold damage, drywall, subfloors, and other building materials may be removed. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet. It may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in your home.
Emergency Contact
The mold cleanup and restoration process begins when you call us. Our specialist will ask a series of questions to help us determine the necessary equipment, resources, and personnel needed for you and your home.
Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
Our professionals will carefully inspect your property for visible signs of mold. Using a variety of technologies, we can detect mold and locate any hidden water sources so the mold will not return once the area is cleaned and the mold removal process has been completed.
Mold Containment
We use various containment procedures to prevent the spread and cross-contamination of mold. All fans and heating and cooling systems will be turned off to prevent the spread as our professionals work to mitigate your mold problem.

Commercial Mold Remediation
Mold can enter your business in a variety of ways. Once spotted, it’s important you contact a cleanup and restoration company like SERVPRO as soon as possible. Given its ability to spread in 72 hours or less, and the possibility of allergens and irritants that may cause health effects as a result, time is of the essence when mold spreads in your business or commercial property.
We understand the urgency of returning your business to functioning condition, given that every hour of closed business is an hour of lost production and revenue. Take the necessary steps to help protect your customers, employees, and the health of your business by having our team assess and remediate any mold damage that may have grown in your commercial space.
What our
customers are saying
Joel and Austin from SERVPRO are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and have EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS on our water mitigation and build back. Austin took tons of photos to have proof of loss to prove to our insurance adjuster there were covered items the insurance adjuster missed on their brief 1/2 hour walk through, which were indeed covered by insurance. They have been a lifesaver negotiating directly with the insurance adjuster to get items covered for our restoration and build back. Our insurance company has them as a national vendor, so we didn't have the stress of out of pocket $, and they were paid directly. Knowledgeable, responsive, dedicated, reliable, flexible, attention to detail, and tons of contacts to be our one stop shop from Arizona for my deceased parents' home in Illinois.
SERVPRO Of Decatur/Forsyth went above and beyond to take care of our house. They dried our home quickly and efficiently!
Extremely Professional Service!
Dear Tracy,
We want to thank Lisa, Andrew, and Tiffany for a job very well done. They came into our home with all their equipment and were very quiet while they set it up. I also have to mention how patient and polite they were and also very good about handling our items. We do want to apologize if we were any way impatient or rude to them.
We will highly recommend to others we talk to. Very efficient workers.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!
Sincerely,
Bob and Dorothy Goodall
We are writing to commend your employees who worked at our house during our recent water clean up. Austin, Andrew and Will were the first on scene. They were friendly, courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. They explained the clean up process in step-by-step terms and offered additional services if necessary. The three of them worked well together. Lisa and Antonio were next up and just as efficient. Again, very knowledgeable and polite! All of our questions were fully answered. We were comfortable with them in our home and trusted them even when we could not be present.
We are sure to suggest your company to our family and friends. And, if necessary, will not hesitate to hire your services again.
In January, we had a pipe break in our home in Decatur. The SERVPRO team came out super fast and did an amazing job!!! They were so respectful of our home and the belongings in the home. What a fabulous crew. I have so much faith in Tracy as she came over to check progress and made sure we were in the best shape possible. THANK YOU SERVPRO!!
Thanks for getting the mold out of my crawl space. I feel more comfortable in my house knowing the mold is gone.
Thanks again!!
Great customer Service! They were here when I needed them. I would recommend them to all my friends and family. My attic was covered with mold and they climbed up there with the right gear and got the job done right! Very professional. My house is now back to the way it was before we had a disaster! A++++
Frozen pipes are not good. Mine busted and flooded my basement. SERVPRO helped me get it all cleaned up!
I want to give a special thanks to your staff that helped us.
They were very considerate to our needs. They helped make this problem as easy as possible for us.
