How do I know if a leak caused mold?
A musty smell near a fixture, discolored cabinet backing, or soft subfloor near a sink or toilet are common signs mold has started after a leak.
Can mold grow from a leak I already fixed?
Yes, if the cavity stayed wet long enough before the repair, mold can already be established even though the leak itself is resolved.

Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across DuPage County.
