Mold Growth In Illinois Homes and Businesses

Water can be destructive.  But what we sometimes forget is how destructive toxic black mold can be as a result of water.  Mold growth, for example, found in buildings in St. Charles or Evanston IL may not make it into the news, however, mold remediation companies are remediating mold and repairing water damage in hundreds of buildings every year in both.

Whether your home is in Northbrook, IL, or you are experiencing high humidity in Arlington Heights due to failures in the building envelope you will have the coditions where mold can grow. Rainfall in McHenry and Schaumburg or groundwater collection in your basements in Waukesha or Des Plaines. A toilet overflow in Palatine, IL. Wherever you live, there has likely been at some point some moisture that has collected, which means your health may currently be impacted by mycotoxins from mold growth wherever you work and live.

Types of mold that you can experience in the Greater Milwaukee area, down along Lake Michigan and through the Chicago and Great Lakes region include the toxic Stachybotrys fungus and other benign and dangerous molds such as Alternaria, Aspergillus, Chaetomium, and, Penicillium.  All can cause health issues.
