What a licensed remediation job actually involves, in the order it happens. Every step below is the contractor's work, not ours.
-
Step 1: Assessment
A licensed assessor establishes whether there is growth, how far it extends, and where the moisture is coming from.
-
Step 2: Containment
Barriers and negative air pressure go up first, so disturbing material does not move spores into clean rooms.
-
Step 3: Removal
Porous material that cannot be cleaned comes out - drywall cut past the moisture line, insulation, carpet pad, cabinet bases.
-
Step 4: Drying
Dehumidifiers and air movers bring the structure back to a dry standard, with readings logged from the material rather than the surface.
What drives moisture problems in Belleville
Mold removal in Belleville reaches out through McKinzie Place and Edison Place, and our local pros handle all of it. It sits on the bluff above the American Bottom, with coal measures under the streets, so May's 5.25 inches either sheets off the bluff into the Bottom or ponds in a subsided trough over a mine.
Housing stock
Over four fifths of the housing here predates 1990 — 81.1 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1962. Brick and frame on full basements, a 1962 median with four fifths standing before 1990, split between the bluff edge and the first drop toward the Mississippi floodplain.
Climate and water risk
May alone accounts for 11.8 percent of the 44.58 inches this area sees in an average year, on 1991–2020 normals recorded 1.1 miles away at BELLEVILLE 2.2 SE. May leads at 5.25 inches of a 44.58 inch year. On the bluff that rain runs the streets toward the Bottom; where mining has lowered a block, the new low point is a cellar. The same month's water then sits in a trough that did not exist when the house was built.
Common moisture and mold problems in Belleville
- Illinois Basin coal voids subsiding under 1960s streets and turning a block into a bowl
- Bluff-edge houses shedding every roof onto the next lot down toward the American Bottom
- May storms ponding in subsided troughs that post-date the original grade
- 1962 masonry on loess over limestone with no later drain on the buried face

Frequently asked questions
East St. Louis is in the Bottom. Is that the same water?
Opposite. The Bottom is the floodplain. Belleville is the bluff and the mines. May rain here either runs off the edge or sits in a subsided trough. Treating a bluff cellar as American Bottom flooding misses the coal and the cut.
This block used to shed May rain. What changed under an Illinois Basin street?
A coal void closed. Belleville's bluff is mined; a street that carried water toward the American Bottom in 2000 can sit as a dish now. May's 5.25 inches then ponds in a trough the original grade never had. The shingles did not fail. The lot is lower than the plat.
Is a house on the bluff edge a different job from one inland over a mine?
Yes. The edge is runoff onto the next lot and a buried downhill wall. Inland is a trough over a void. One is grade; the other is subsidence. They are not one repair. One is grade; the other is subsidence. They are not one repair.
