With over 30 years of dedicated experience in the mold, water, fire, and trauma cleanup industry, I have honed my skills and knowledge to provide exceptional services to my clients. My journey began with a passion for helping others in their most challenging times, and it has evolved into a fulfilling career where I can make a tangible difference. I am certified in mold testing and water damage restoration, ensuring that I employ the latest techniques and adhere to industry standards to deliver effective solutions. My expertise extends beyond mold and water; I also specialize in fire damage restoration and trauma cleanup, handling sensitive situations with professionalism and compassion. Throughout my career, I have built a reputation for reliability and thoroughness, always prioritizing the safety and well-being of my clients. I understand the complexities involved in recovery and restoration, and I am committed to guiding my clients through every step of the process.

"These are the ultimate pros! After having a sump pump in stalled in my over 100 year old home I needed the basement rehabbed from years of neglect—particularly mold under knotty pine paneling and a drop ceiling that was no longer intact. Over 3 days all the paneling and failing drop ceiling were removed, the walls were treated to remove the mold and painted. Now my basement looks great, smells fresh and I couldn’t be happier. The price was completely fair, the work was started and completed as promised—great experience with a great result"

Mold is everywhere, but elevated levels in your property can cause serious health problems. Even if the mold is non-toxic, it still needs to be removed because the mold spores will still be present. If your property has a mold problem we have the knowledge and instrumentation to find it.

"Still waiting on the lab results but the inspector was very polite,informative , honest and thorough."

At ProCare Restoration, we pride ourselves on providing excellent customer service at an unbeatable price. Our desire to quickly assist our clients and make their restoration services as painless as possible makes us one of the most reputable restoration companies in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.

"They were prompt in showing up, but did not have enough equipment at first. They first secured the job and then slowly brought equipment from other jobs. The staff were very hardworking and experienced - no issues there. However, after sales support was lacking. For example they left their dumpster in my driveway for a week and could not schedule a pickup until and i called and called. They did not send me the paperwork after the work was done. Nor was there any follow up calls or emails to see how everything went. They are always on the hunt for the next job and there isn't time to make sure the customer is satisfied."

Toxicity and mold removals FAQs

Mold remediation can last indefinitely if you eliminate the underlying moisture problem that caused mold growth. That’s why it’s essential to repair leaks, reduce humidity, and remove water-damaged materials to prevent mold from returning to your home. Be sure to keep up with regular maintenance and inspections to help prevent future mold growth.

It's generally not recommended to stay home during mold remediation, especially if the infestation is extensive. Mold spores can become airborne during removal, posing health risks. It's best to relocate temporarily while professionals remove the mold and restore your home. Some contractors may require occupants to vacate to ensure safety and efficiency.

Mold can return after remediation if the underlying moisture problem isn't fully resolved. To prevent mold from coming back, it's essential to identify and repair the source of moisture, such as leaks, high humidity, or poor ventilation. Without addressing these issues, mold spores can find the damp environment they need to grow again. Ensuring that your home remains dry and well-ventilated is key to preventing future mold growth after remediation.

Unfortunately, exposure to mold can lead to various health effects, especially in individuals with allergies, asthma, or weakened immune systems. Common symptoms include nasal congestion, throat irritation, coughing, wheezing, eye irritation, and skin rash. Some molds produce mycotoxins, which can cause more serious health issues like respiratory infections or neurological problems. Prolonged exposure to toxic molds may even contribute to severe conditions such as lung disease. It's important to address mold problems promptly to protect your health and well-being.
