Services

ELCO Restoration is a IICRC Mold certified organization. Our remediation services identify and remove mold growth. We offer at-home air quality testing to determine potential health hazards. Specialized equipment and techniques are used to remove the mold and prevent its return, crucial for protecting health and safety and maintaining a safe environment.

Water remediation is the process of mitigating water-damaged properties. It involves assessing the extent of the damage and determining the type of water before removing any standing water, drying out affected areas, and cleaning or replacing damaged materials. Specialized equipment is commonly used to speed up the drying process and prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms.

Fire remediation involves repairing and restoring properties damaged by fire. This includes assessing and securing the property, removing debris, cleaning up smoke and soot, and repairing structural damage. Specialized equipment is used to clean and remove smoke and soot.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is your service area?

We service primarily western Michigan: Lansing, Grand Haven, Holland, Grand Rapids, Jenison, Hudsonville, Grandville; as far north as Howard City and as far south as Shelbyville.

How long does an air test take?

On average, two samples (a control sample and a test sample) take about 30 minutes to complete on site.

Do you analyze your own air tests?

We do not analyze our own air tests. To eliminate biased test results, tests are sent to a third party lab. It takes about three days to receive test results.

How does the mold inspection work?

Our professional assessment has one goal: to leave you with an unbiased opinion so you can make an informed decision about your home. The inspection consists of a thorough walkthrough of the whole home: the attic, crawl space, basements, bathrooms, and more. Photos and documentation will be taken of any concerns pertaining to mold.

What does it take to properly remediate mold?

Treating any mold is always a two-stage process: identify the source of the occurring mold and make proper fixes.

On the first day, we will spray and scrub the mold with an antimicrobial agent. All contaminated material will be carefully removed and placed in thick plastic bags and sealed according to ICRC standards. If any demolition is needed, it will happen on the first day.

On the second day, we will encapsulate the mold with a mold and mildew proof paint.

How do I know the rest of my home will be safe from mold when you tear it out?

Before the remediation process begins, the area that is getting remediated gets completely contained.

A containment room gets built around the mold with 4mil plastic using tension poles and tape sealing all seams. An Air Scrubber is then installed in the affected area to clean all floating air particles. Before any contaminated material is removed from the contained space, everything gets wiped down with antimicrobial agents to ensure safe passage through the home.

Do you only remediate, or do you also restore?

ELCO Restoration can take your home from remediation to full restoration.

Ethan and his team at ELCO Restoration were great. Ethan was very professional and very informative while performing his service. I would recommend Ethan to anyone who has or is questioning if they have any mold issues.

ELCO Restoration completed extensive remodeling to my home and rebuilt the outside garage structure. The kitchen, living room, dining room and master bedroom were all taken down to the studs and reconstructed with beautiful end results. Ethan and Chris are great to work with. Estimates were honored and there were no “surprise upcharges.” When problems arose, they were addressed promptly and professionally. They were respectful of my home. The work areas were clean and free of trash at the end of the workday. They always returned my phone calls and showed up on time. It is the small things that matter when you are dealing with the stress of a remodeling project. I highly recommend ELCO Restoration and would not hesitate to hire them in the future.

Ethan is the real deal! We had a water issue and we’re looking for guidance on next steps. Ethan was prompt, thorough and honest. He went above and beyond in looking at our heating as well and is incredibly knowledgeable! We would work with him and his team without hesitation and recommend you do too!
