Mold-Remediation-Services

Mold Remediation Services

Wisconsin’s fluctuating humidity can make mold a serious threat to both property and health.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I choose the right restoration company?

Choose a company with certified technicians, 24/7 emergency response, and a strong local track record. ERS Emergency Restoration Specialists has been serving Southeastern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois for over 15 years, offering fast, reliable service backed by hundreds of 5-star reviews.

You can expect water removal, drying, dehumidification, and repair. At ERS, we bring advanced equipment, arrive quickly and walk you through each step—including working directly with your insurance.

Yes. ERS offers 24/7 emergency service every day of the year. Whether it’s 3AM or a holiday, we’ll pick up the phone and be at your door—fast.

Even small areas of mold can spread and release harmful spores. ERS uses professional containment and removal techniques to ensure the mold is eliminated safely and doesn't return.

Avoid contact and call a professional immediately. ERS specializes in biohazard cleanup and uses OSHA-compliant methods and disinfectants to safely restore your property.

Signs include cracking walls, sagging floors, or lingering dampness. ERS technicians inspect not only the visible damage but also use moisture meters and infrared cameras to detect hidden issues.

Store-bought solutions often mask odors instead of removing them. ERS uses commercial-grade ozone machines and air scrubbers that neutralize smoke odor at the molecular level.

If mold returns, it usually means the moisture source wasn’t fixed. ERS conducts thorough moisture source tracking and offers long-term solutions—not just surface cleaning.

Most water, fire, and mold restoration services are covered, depending on your policy. ERS works directly with your insurance company and provides all necessary documentation to support your claim.

It depends on the damage. Minor water cleanup may take a day, while larger projects like fire or mold restoration can take several days. ERS provides a clear timeline up front and updates you throughout the process.
