Good to know
Mold After Plumbing Leak in Des Plaines, IL: common questions
How can I tell if a leak caused mold?
A musty smell near a fixture, discolored cabinet backing, or a soft subfloor near a sink or toilet are common signs growth has started.
Can mold grow from a leak that's already been fixed?
Yes. If the cavity stayed wet long enough before the repair, growth may already be established even though the leak is fixed.
How long does remediation for mold after a plumbing leak take?
It depends on the extent of water travel, but most single-fixture leaks are contained, removed, and dried within a few days.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after mold after plumbing leak?
The moisture source is fixed first, not just the mold, then the structure is dried and rechecked. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Des Plaines home.
Should I fix the leak myself before calling?
Shutting off water to the fixture helps limit damage. Leave moldy material undisturbed for the technician to assess before cleanup begins.
Do you coordinate with my plumber?
Yes. Scheduling is coordinated so the leak repair and the mold remediation happen in the proper sequence.
Do I need to leave my Des Plaines home during the work?
Usually no. The work area is sealed under negative air, so most of the Des Plaines home stays livable. On a larger job, the technician on site will say if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Des Plaines?
Yes. Local contractors cover all of Des Plaines, including Rosemont, Park Ridge, Mount Prospect, and the rest of the Des Plaines area. The line is answered around the clock, and a visit is often set the same day you call.
