Mold Problem Discovered in Lake Villa Home?

6/27/2023 (Permalink)

A person discovers mold growing in their home. Lake County residents rely on us for mold remediation services.

Lake Villa residents know they can always count on our local Northwest Lake County team to restore mold damage quickly and efficiently. Moisture in the home is the most common cause of mold damage. The Illinois Department of Health offers this helpful information about some of the ways homes are exposed to moisture:

  • Plumbing, flashing, and roof leaks
  • Damp basements and crawlspaces
  • Cooking, showering, and indoor line drying of clothes
  • Humidifiers
  • Improperly vented combustion appliances and clothes dryers
  • Flooding and sewer backups
  • Poorly maintained gutters, downspouts, and drains
  • Landscaping and plants that block crawlspace vents and drainage systems

Microscopic mold spores are always present in the air, waiting for the perfect conditions to land and colonize. When there is excess moisture and organic materials to feed on, mold can become visible in as little as 48 to 72 hours and it can spread quickly to other areas of the home. Mold feeds on almost anything, including paper, carpet, wood, drywall, insulation, paint, and mattresses.
