Professional Mold Removal - Done the Right Way, Step by Step

Each stage is performed by the independent remediation contractor the call reaches, following industry standards.

  1. Step 1: Assessment

    An assessor identifies the presence of mold, determines how far the growth extends, and locates the source of moisture.

  2. Step 2: Containment

    Protective barriers and negative air pressure are established to prevent spores from spreading into unaffected areas.

  3. Step 3: Removal

    Porous materials that cannot be safely cleaned are removed — including drywall past the moisture line, insulation, carpet pad, and damaged cabinet bases.

  4. Step 4: Drying

    Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers return the structure to a dry standard, with moisture readings taken from the material itself rather than the surface.

What drives moisture problems in Belleville

Mold removal in Belleville reaches out through McKinzie Place and Edison Place, and independent local pros handle all of it. It sits on the bluff above the American Bottom, with coal measures under the streets, so May's 5.25 inches either sheets off the bluff into the Bottom or ponds in a subsided trough over a mine.

Housing stock

Over four fifths of the housing here predates 1990 — 81.1 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1962. Brick and frame on full basements, a 1962 median with four fifths standing before 1990, split between the bluff edge and the first drop toward the Mississippi floodplain.

Climate and water risk

May alone accounts for 11.8 percent of the 44.58 inches this area sees in an average year, on 1991–2020 normals recorded 1.1 miles away at BELLEVILLE 2.2 SE. May leads at 5.25 inches of a 44.58 inch year. On the bluff that rain runs the streets toward the Bottom; where mining has lowered a block, the new low point is a cellar. The same month's water then sits in a trough that did not exist when the house was built.

Common moisture and mold problems in Belleville

  • Illinois Basin coal voids subsiding under 1960s streets and turning a block into a bowl
  • Bluff-edge houses shedding every roof onto the next lot down toward the American Bottom
  • May storms ponding in subsided troughs that post-date the original grade
  • 1962 masonry on loess over limestone with no later drain on the buried face

Frequently asked questions

The street has sunk slightly and now our lot ponds. Are those connected?

Yes. Illinois Basin coal voids subside under these blocks and turn a stretch of street into a shallow bowl, so May storms pond in a trough that post-dates the original grade. The grading was right when it was built; the ground moved under it.

This block used to shed May rain. What changed under an Illinois Basin street?

A coal void closed. Belleville's bluff is mined; a street that carried water toward the American Bottom in 2000 can sit as a dish now. May's 5.25 inches then ponds in a trough the original grade never had. The shingles did not fail. The lot is lower than the plat.

Is a house on the bluff edge a different job from one inland over a mine?

Yes. The edge is runoff onto the next lot and a buried downhill wall. Inland is a trough over a void. One is grade; the other is subsidence. They are not one repair.
