Safe Home Environmental — testing and remediation
Air movers and containment set up in a hallway while the structure dries

Chicago, Illinois · Water · Mold · Fire · Asbestos

Damage is stressful.
The cleanup shouldn’t be.

Water, mold, fire and smoke do more damage the longer they sit. We find out how far it reached, dry and clean the building properly, and give you the documentation your insurance company will ask for.

From the first call

What actually happens, in order.

Nobody explains this part when your ceiling is coming down. Here it is, before you call, so you know what to expect from us.

Call (877) 923-8883
  1. 01

    You call, and a person answers

    Tell us what happened and where. We ask the questions a crew needs — is the water still coming in, what was the source, how long has it been there — and tell you what to do before we arrive.

  2. 02

    We find how far it actually reached

    Water and smoke both travel further than they look. Moisture meters, thermal imaging and air sampling show us the real extent so nothing gets closed back up wet.

  3. 03

    We do the work, and document it

    Extraction, containment, removal, cleaning and drying — with photos and readings recorded as we go, in the form your insurance company and your landlord will ask for.

  4. 04

    We stay until it is verified dry and clean

    We come back to check the readings rather than assuming. When the numbers are where they should be, we walk the job with you and hand over the record.

How we work

Measured, not guessed.

A wall can look dry and still be wet behind the paint. So we measure: moisture readings before and after, thermal images where we suspect water is hiding, and lab results when we need to know what is actually growing. You get the readings, not just our word for it.

We are a minority-owned Chicago business, and we work in the neighborhoods we live in. That is a big part of why we do it this way — the person whose basement we are standing in is a neighbor, not a ticket number.
