How can I tell if a leak caused mold?

Common indicators include a musty smell near a fixture, discolored cabinet backing, or a softened subfloor near a sink or toilet.

Yes. The remediation crew works to the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Cook County.

Should I repair the leak before contacting a service?

Shutting off the water to the fixture can limit damage. Avoid disturbing moldy materials so the technician can properly assess them.

Do you coordinate with my plumber?

Yes. Scheduling is coordinated to ensure the leak repair and mold remediation occur in the correct sequence.
