Regular maintenance is the best defense for Evanston homeowners. Inspect plumbing connections and supply hoses annually, clean gutters and downspouts seasonally, ensure your sump pump is operational, and monitor your water bill for unexplained spikes that indicate hidden leaks.

Our mold prevention protocol for Evanston properties includes rapid water extraction within the first hour, strategic placement of commercial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers, application of antimicrobial treatments to affected surfaces, and continuous monitoring of moisture levels until readings return to normal. Speed is the single most important factor in preventing mold growth after water damage.
Yes. Mold can begin colonizing within 24 to 48 hours after water exposure, especially in the warm, humid conditions common in many Illinois communities. In Evanston, we address mold risk proactively by deploying commercial dehumidifiers and air scrubbers immediately during the water extraction process. If mold is already present, our IICRC-certified technicians perform full remediation following industry protocols.
