Good to know
Apartment & Condo Mold Remediation in Harwood Heights, IL: common questions
How is a moisture source traced to a neighboring unit?
Moisture mapping and thermal imaging help trace water migration, with findings documented to clarify responsibility, especially for shared systems.
Can mold travel between condo units through shared walls?
Yes, mold can spread via shared wall cavities, plumbing chases, or ducts, which is why inspection extends beyond visible growth.

The remediation procedures adhere to the IICRC S520 standard regardless of ownership. The documentation is directed to the appropriate party: landlord, HOA, or owner.
