Illinois experiences significant temperature and humidity swings throughout the year. Humid summers can lead to condensation on air conditioning units and within building envelopes. Cold winters can cause condensation on windows and walls, especially in older homes. Our approach in Illinois starts with a detailed mold inspection to locate all affected areas and determine the root cause. We then establish containment using barriers and negative air pressure to prevent spore dispersal. Mold removal involves specialized equipment for cleaning and treating surfaces. The final step is drying and sanitizing the area to restore a healthy indoor environment.
