We kept getting mold on the same bedroom window every winter and finally had it looked at properly. Turned out it was a ventilation issue as much as the window itself, and the team explained exactly what was happening before doing the cleanup.

Our process

Inspect
We check humidity levels room by room and identify where condensation is forming and why.
Contain
We isolate any area with active mold growth before cleaning to avoid spreading spores.

Mold on window frames, drywall, or ductwork is cleaned or removed depending on the surface and extent.
Dry

Good to know
Humidity & Condensation Mold Control in Phelps, IL: common questions
Can Illinois's dry climate still have a mold problem?
Yes, condensation from temperature differences, humidifiers, or poor ventilation can create localized humid spots even in a generally dry climate.
Can a humidifier cause mold?
Yes, evaporative coolers add significant moisture to indoor air, and if it isn't managed well it can lead to condensation and mold near ducts and vents.
Do you check ductwork for condensation mold?
Yes, we inspect ductwork and register boots since sweating ducts in a crawl space or attic are a common and often overlooked source.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after humidity & condensation mold control?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Phelps home.
Why does mold keep coming back on my window sill?
If condensation keeps forming, wiping the mold away is only a temporary fix. The underlying humidity or insulation issue needs to be addressed.
Is condensation mold less serious than mold from a flood?
It's typically smaller in scope, but it can still spread if left unaddressed and the underlying humidity issue is not corrected.
Will my insurance cover humidity & condensation mold control in Phelps?
It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. We bill your carrier directly and document the loss so your Phelps claim moves.
Do you serve Phelps?
Yes. We cover all of Phelps, including Dupo, East Carondelet, Cahokia, and the rest of the Phelps area. We are based in Columbia, about 5 minutes from our Columbia base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
