If you see mold right now
Three things to do while you wait
Stop the moisture
Shut off any active leak and wipe up standing water. Mold needs moisture to spread, so cutting the water source first slows it down.
Keep the area closed
Avoid disturbing or scrubbing heavy growth. Close doors to the room so spores are not spread through the rest of the home.

On the job

Local knowledge
What drives mold in Chicago homes
Chicago residences contend with the region's persistent moisture, from humid summer stretches to basement seepage common across Cook County.
Mold growth typically follows a moisture source: an undetected plumbing leak, persistent condensation, or water intrusion after heavy rain. Given time, it spreads across surfaces like drywall and floor joists.
Technicians establish containment, remove mold growth to the IICRC S520 standard, and employ drying equipment until moisture readings normalize. Call to schedule a Chicago inspection.
- Seasonal flooding and heavy rain directing water into foundations and crawl spaces
- Air conditioning condensation promoting mold on cool basement and closet walls
- Plumbing leaks and inadequate ventilation allowing damp air to stagnate
- Sump pumps and crawl spaces in Chicago that can be overwhelmed during wet periods
Numerous Chicago basements house radon mitigation systems. Technicians work meticulously around these pipes and fans to clear mold without disrupting your existing mitigation.
Whatever started it, the moisture source gets found first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind. The methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
