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.
-
Step 1: Assessment
An assessor identifies the presence of mold, determines how far the growth extends, and locates the source of moisture.
-
Step 2: Containment
Protective barriers and negative air pressure are established to prevent spores from spreading into unaffected areas.
-
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.
-
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 South Holland
Mold removal in South Holland reaches out through Greenwood and Berger, and independent local pros handle all of it. This is a south-suburban village on the flat floodplain of the Little Calumet, where the housing centers on 1966 and nearly nine in ten homes predate 1990.
Housing stock
Close to nine in ten of the housing here predates 1990 — 88.2 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1966. 1960s brick ranch houses and bi-levels on full basements, a median year of 1966, and close to nine in ten units standing before 1990.
Climate and water risk
Of the 41.46 inches that arrive in an average year, 5.06 fall in June; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 4.1 miles away at HOMEWOOD 0.1 ESE. June leads at 5.06 inches of a 41.46 inch year, on a village that lies within a few feet of a slow river with almost no fall to carry water away. When the Little Calumet rises after a June storm it stays up for days, and while it is up the ground under the whole village is saturated to within a foot or two of the basement floors, so water that would drain elsewhere has nowhere to go here but into the lowest basement on the block.
Common moisture and mold problems in South Holland
- A slow floodplain river that stays high for days after a June storm and keeps the water table at basement level
- 1960s basements with drain tile that discharges into a storm sewer already surcharged by the same storm
- Flat village blocks with no fall, so a raised driveway or patio sends the neighbor's runoff to your wall
- Former truck-farm ground under the subdivisions, rich and peaty, holding water long after the surface dries

Frequently asked questions
The river is a mile away. Why does its level matter to my basement?
Distance matters less than height on a floodplain this flat. The Little Calumet rises slowly after a storm and stays up for days, and while it is high the groundwater across the village rises with it, because the water in the soil has nowhere to drain. A basement floor eight feet down is then only a foot or two above saturated ground. Nothing flows from the river to the house; the ground fills from below.
The drain tile around the basement runs to the storm sewer. Why does the basement still flood?
Because in the storm that matters, the sewer is full. Foundation tile from the 1960s was connected to the street storm sewer, which works as long as the sewer is below the tile. In a hard June rain the sewer surcharges, the water in it backs up the tile, and the system that was meant to drain the footing starts feeding it instead. A sump with a check valve breaks that connection; the tile on its own cannot.
The ground here was farmland before the houses. Does that leave anything behind?
It leaves the soil. This was vegetable-growing ground, dark and rich and in places peaty, chosen because it held water through a dry summer. That same quality keeps it saturated after a wet spring long after sandier ground would have drained. A basement in it sits in soil that is still wet in July from rain that fell in May, and the walls take that moisture steadily rather than in a single flood.
