Mold Conditions Across Chicagoland
Lake Michigan keeps summer dew points high, and Chicago basements sit below grade in clay. Humidity above 60 percent for weeks at a time is normal, and that is enough for growth without any visible leak.
Classic brick bungalows and two-flats were never built for finished lower levels. Drywall and paneling furred against masonry trap moisture behind the finish.
Winter condensation on cold rim joists, window wells, and uninsulated ducts seeds growth in the same spaces that stayed damp all summer.
Where We Find Mold in Chicago Homes
Finished basements and lower-level bedrooms are the most common remediation we perform citywide and in Oak Park, Evanston, and Elgin.
Crawlspaces under older additions grow mold on joists and subfloor where vapor barriers are torn or absent.
Bathrooms with fans vented into the attic produce growth on the roof deck as well as around the shower.
HVAC coils and condensate pans distribute spores through the whole house, so we inspect the system on every mold job.
