Remove Mold Growth and Address Moisture Sources

Mold remediation services for residential and commercial properties in Naples, Florida and Oswego, Illinois

Mold growth in Naples, Florida and Oswego, Illinois area properties often begins in hidden areas where moisture accumulates without being noticed, such as behind walls after a slow leak, under flooring after a flood, or in attic spaces where humidity condenses on cooler surfaces. Service 1 Restoration provides mold remediation that includes identification of affected areas, containment to prevent spores from spreading, and removal procedures that follow industry protocols for safety and effectiveness.


This service uses containment barriers and negative air pressure to isolate the work zone, HEPA filtration to capture airborne spores, and removal of mold-affected materials that cannot be adequately cleaned. Service 1 Restoration also addresses the moisture source that caused the mold to grow, whether that is a plumbing issue, roof leak, or high indoor humidity. You receive clear remediation steps and prevention guidance so the problem does not return after the work is completed.


If your Naples or Oswego area property has visible mold or you suspect growth in areas affected by water damage, contact Service 1 Restoration to schedule an assessment and begin the remediation process.

Containment, Removal, and Moisture Source Correction

Mold remediation in Naples, Fort Myers, North Fort Myers or throghout Illinois in the Oswego, Aurora, Montgomery area begins with containment using plastic sheeting and negative air machines that pull air out of the work zone and filter it through HEPA units before exhausting it outside. Service 1 Restoration removes mold-affected drywall, insulation, or other porous materials that cannot be cleaned effectively, then cleans hard surfaces using antimicrobial solutions and HEPA vacuums that capture remaining spores. You see crews wearing protective equipment and using air scrubbers to maintain clean air in adjacent rooms.


After remediation, your property no longer shows visible mold growth, surfaces are clean and dry, and the musty odor that accompanies active mold is gone. Air quality improves as spore counts drop, and the moisture conditions that allowed mold to grow are corrected so new growth does not appear in the same location.


Service 1 Restoration is suitable for mold resulting from post-water damage and long-term moisture issues in both residential and commercial settings. The service does not cover cosmetic mildew on surfaces that can be cleaned with household products, but will identify the difference during the assessment and recommend the appropriate action based on the extent and type of growth observed.

What to Expect During Mold Remediation

Property owners often have questions about health risks, containment procedures, and how to prevent mold from returning. These answers address the practical concerns that come up before starting remediation work.

How do you prevent mold spores from spreading during removal?
Service 1 Restoration uses containment barriers and negative air machines to isolate the work area and filter air before it leaves the zone. This prevents spores from moving into unaffected rooms during removal.
What materials need to be removed during mold remediation?
Porous materials such as drywall, insulation, and carpeting that are heavily contaminated are removed and discarded. Hard surfaces like wood framing and metal are cleaned and treated if the mold has not penetrated deeply.
How do you address the moisture problem that caused the mold?
Service 1 Restoration identifies the source during the assessment, whether it is a leak, high humidity, or poor ventilation. The moisture issue is corrected as part of the remediation to prevent recurrence.
Can I stay in my home during mold remediation?
In most cases, yes. Containment keeps spores confined to the work area, and air scrubbers maintain safe air quality in the rest of the property. You receive guidance on which areas to avoid during the process.
How long does mold remediation take?
Most residential projects take two to five days depending on the extent of growth and the materials involved. Service 1 Restoration provides a timeline after the initial assessment that outlines each phase of work.
