Good to know
Humidity & Condensation Mold Control in Arlington Heights, IL: common questions
Can mold occur in Illinois's dry climate?
Yes. Condensation from temperature differences, humidifiers, or poor ventilation creates damp spots conducive to mold, even in a generally dry climate.
Can a humidifier cause mold growth?
It can. Evaporative coolers add significant moisture to indoor air, which can lead to mold growth near ducts, vents, and ceiling areas.
Is ductwork checked for condensation mold?
Yes. Ductwork and register boots are inspected, as sweating ducts in spaces like crawl spaces are a common source of condensation mold.
Do I need to leave my Arlington Heights home during the work?
Usually no. The work area is sealed under negative air, so most of the Arlington Heights home stays livable. On a larger job, the technician on site will say if it is better to step out for a day.
Why does mold return to my window sill?
Because the condensation that feeds the mold continues to form. Correcting the insulation gap or indoor humidity level is necessary for a permanent solution.
Is condensation mold less severe than flood mold?
It is often more contained initially, but it will persist and spread if the underlying humidity issue is not resolved.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after humidity & condensation mold control?
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 Arlington Heights home.

Yes. Local contractors cover all of Arlington Heights, including Rolling Meadows, Prospect Heights, Mount Prospect, and the rest of the Arlington Heights area. The line is answered around the clock, and a visit is often set the same day you call.
