Mold after flooding
Floodwater in Illinois leaves materials soaked and contaminated. Porous materials that stayed wet are usually removed, because cleaning alone does not reliably stop mold inside them.
Damp basements
Basements in Illinois are prone to dampness from seepage and condensation, and finished basements hide mold behind drywall and under carpet.
Recent history in Illinois
Heavy rainstorms in the Chicago area frequently overwhelm combined sewers and flood basements. Events like these are why mold remediation needs fast, thorough work and careful documentation for insurance.
