Growth on surfaces like window frames or drywall is cleaned or removed based on the material and extent of colonization.

Good to know
Humidity & Condensation Mold Control in Glen Ellyn, IL: common questions
Can mold be a problem in Winfield's climate?
Yes. Condensation from temperature differences, humidifiers, or poor ventilation creates damp spots conducive to mold.
Can a humidifier lead to mold growth?
It can. Evaporative coolers add significant moisture to indoor air, which can condense and lead to growth near ducts and ceilings.
Is ductwork inspected for condensation mold?
Yes. Ductwork and register boots are inspected, as sweating ducts in unconditioned spaces are a common source of condensation mold.
Is humidity & condensation mold control in Glen Ellyn done to a real standard?
Yes. The remediation crew works to the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across DuPage County.
Why does mold return on my window sill every year?
The mold returns because the condensation continues. Correcting the insulation gap or humidity level is required for a permanent solution.
Is condensation mold less severe than flood mold?
It is often more contained initially, but it will persist and spread if the humidity issue is not resolved.
