Environmental Testing and Safety Compliance
Mold removal and environmental testing help identify, contain, and safely eliminate hazardous contaminants such as mold, asbestos, and lead from affected properties.
Restore Construction provides complete environmental testing for mold, asbestos, and lead. When these environmental contaminants are present in a property, additional safety measures must be followed to protect the health of those who come into contact with contaminated materials. Additionally, there are federal and state rules that apply to the proper abatement of asbestos and lead that must be followed.
We also provide related services such as water damage restoration and fire damage restoration to support complete property recovery.
How Does Mold Testing Work?
Mold testing helps detect the presence and severity of mold in a property, allowing restoration professionals to determine the appropriate remediation approach.
Mold growth can occur in any property where there is increased humidity or a moisture source such as a leaking roof or pipe, and organic material. Mold commonly grows on walls, ceilings, and floors, and can also be hidden on joists, framing materials, insulation, and other building materials. Mold spores travel easily through the air, and can be detected by air testing and confirmed by a visual inspection, especially in properties throughout the Chicagoland area.

Asbestos Testing
Asbestos testing identifies hazardous materials in a property to ensure safe handling and compliance with health and safety regulations.
Asbestos was commonly used in a number of building materials through the 1970s including insulation and flooring and roofing materials. Asbestos fibers, when disturbed, can become airborne and enter the respiratory system, posing a significant health risk to those who are exposed. If you suspect asbestos in your property and it has been damaged, or you have plans to remove the material, it should first be tested to confirm whether asbestos is present so the proper procedures can be followed for abatement or removal.
Lead Testing
Lead testing detects the presence of lead-based materials in a property, helping prevent exposure and ensure proper remediation procedures.
Lead poses a significant health risk, and is most commonly a concern in homes or properties that contain lead paint. When your property has been damaged or you are planning a remodel, lead paint dust can be inhaled or ingested. At Restore, we can test your property to determine if lead is present to ensure the proper procedures are followed for cleanup, abatement, or removal of lead.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you respond to mold issues in Chicago?
We provide 24/7 emergency mold removal services and can respond quickly to properties throughout the Chicagoland area to assess and address mold problems.
Is mold dangerous to my health?
Mold exposure can cause respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and other health concerns, especially for individuals with sensitivities or weakened immune systems. Professional removal is recommended.
What is the difference between mold testing and mold remediation?
Mold testing identifies the presence and type of mold, while mold remediation focuses on safely removing mold and preventing it from returning.
How long does mold removal take?
The timeline depends on the size and severity of the affected area. Most mold remediation projects can take anywhere from a few days to over a week.
Do you work with insurance for mold damage?
Yes, we work with insurance providers and can help guide you through the claims process when mold damage is covered under your policy.
I might have mold in my home, should I be concerned?
Keep in mind that we all deal with mold spores daily in both our indoor and outdoor environments. It is never really a question of whether you have mold in your home, but more a question of “is the mold in my home out of control?”.
Does professional mold remediation remove every mold spore in my home?
It is not reasonably possible to rid a structure of all mold spores since they are part of our everyday air. Mold remediation is about reducing elevated mold spore levels to what is considered reasonable or acceptable levels, or standards that would be considered normal.
How do I know if I have black mold?
Mold identification should never be determined by just color. Actual mold species and their toxicity can only be determined through microscopic analysis by a qualified mycologist or an Indoor Environmental Professional. The term “black mold” is usually used to describe a particular type of mold called Stachybotrys, which is known as toxic mold. However, not every mold that is black is Stachybotrys and to add to the complexity, not all toxic molds are black in color.
What is the key to controlling mold growth?
The key to avoiding a mold problem begins with controlling excess moisture. Respond to water intrusions immediately, repairing the source of excess moisture and completely drying out all affected areas. The standard target for ideal indoor humidity is 30% to 55% RH.
