Case Studies
Problem: Following a home remodeling project, the customer was left with a significant amount of fine dust and debris throughout the house. As someone highly sensitive to chemicals and mold, the homeowner required a thorough yet gentle cleaning solution.
Solution: Our team conducted a comprehensive post-construction small particle cleaning tailored to the customer’s needs. We used HEPA-filter vacuums to remove dust from all surfaces, including ceilings, walls, and floors.
Next, every horizontal surface, including shelving, cabinets, and the floors, was meticulously wiped down with microfiber cloths and a natural botanical solution to remove any potential residual dust, mold spores, and bacteria.
Air duct cleanings were also completed before and after the small particle cleaning.

AdvantaClean of Northwest Chicagoland cleaned, remediated, and encapsulated a crawlspace in Wheeling, IL, turning it from a horror show to a clean and dry storage space.
Steps included trash removal, HEPA vacuuming, hydrogen-peroxide cleaner application, antimicrobial application, drying, and the installation of 90-mil polyethylene liners on the floor and walls.
Location: Crystal Lake, IL 60011
Problem: This customer came to us with condensation on the ductwork in his crawl space. After further examination, mold was discovered in the crawl space as well.
Solution: In order to solve this problem, our technicians used HEPA vacuums to remove loose mold spores. Next, they applied a non-toxic and hydrogen peroxide foaming cleaner to remove the mold. Lastly, a mold stain remover was used to remove any pigment staining that was left behind by the mold.
In order to keep the moisture out of the crawl space, our technicians encapsulated it by adding a liner to the walls and installing drain fabric on the floor. The great part about this is that it will help diffuse soil gases, such as radon, and can help reflect heat from the crawl space. The encapsulation will also keep out bugs and any moisture that could cause mold!

Solution: Our technicians began by removing the tub surround to determine the extent of the mold behind it. After discovering that the drywall was covered in mold, our technicians proceeded with removing the drywall and then the tub.
The tub was removed in order to find out if the mold had continued to spread. After the contaminated materials were removed, a full remediation was performed to rid the area of any remaining mold.
