Our Oak Lawn team is a leader in mold damage remediation in Chicago Ridge. Here are some of the signs and symptoms of mold damage:

1. Visible Mold Growth: Mold can appear as black, green, white, or even orange spots or patches on walls, ceilings, floors, and other surfaces.

1. Musty Odor: A persistent, unpleasant, musty smell is often a strong indicator of mold, especially if the odor is most pungent in specific areas of the home.

1. Water Stains or Discoloration: Yellow, brown, or dark stains on walls, ceilings, or floors can indicate moisture problems, which can often lead to mold growth.

1. Warping or Buckling: Warped walls, floors, or ceilings can indicate that moisture has penetrated the structure, potentially leading to mold.

1. Peeling or Bubbling Paint or Wallpaper: Excess moisture behind walls can cause paint or wallpaper to peel or bubble, often associated with mold growth.

1. Increased Humidity or Condensation: Excessive humidity, condensation on windows, or moisture buildup in certain areas can create the perfect mold environment.

1. Previous Water Damage: If your home has experienced flooding, leaks, or any other water damage, there's a higher chance of mold growth in those areas.

1. Rusting Metal: Metal objects in humid areas of the home might start to rust, which can indicate an environment conducive to mold growth.
