Mold thrives in areas with too much moisture and not enough airflow. If ignored, it can harm both your home and your health. Here are the most common reasons mold appears in your home:
High indoor humidity levels, especially above 60%, create the perfect conditions for mold to grow in warm, damp areas of your home.
Hidden leaks in pipes, roofs, or appliances allow water to collect inside walls and floors, providing a prime environment for mold.
Flooding that isn’t cleaned and dried within 24-48 hours leaves behind moisture that quickly leads to mold growth.
Lack of airflow in spaces like bathrooms, kitchens, or basements traps moisture, making it easy for mold to thrive.
We check for visible mold and hidden moisture using tools like infrared cameras and moisture meters.
We seal off the affected area to stop mold from spreading to clean parts of your home.
Our team safely removes mold and contaminated materials following industry best practices.
We use professional drying equipment to remove moisture and keep humidity levels in check.
We fix or replace damaged walls, floors, and insulation to restore your home.
We find and address the moisture source and give tips to help you prevent mold in the future.

Chicago’s climate, with its high humidity and proximity to Lake Michigan, creates conditions conducive to mold growth.
Common signs include musty odors, visible mold growth, water stains, and allergic symptoms like sneezing or itchy eyes when indoors.
Small areas of mold can sometimes be cleaned with DIY methods, but extensive mold growth or mold in HVAC systems should be handled by professionals.
GCPRO uses professional techniques to identify, contain, and remove mold, also addressing moisture sources to prevent future growth.
Coverage varies by policy. Mold removal is typically covered when it’s a result of a covered peril, like water damage from a burst pipe.
The time can vary depending on the extent of the mold. It can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks for large-scale remediation.
Mold can cause respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and in severe cases, can lead to more serious health problems, especially in those with existing respiratory conditions.
Mold can return if the underlying moisture and humidity issues aren’t resolved. Professional removal includes addressing these root causes.
Landlords in Chicago are responsible for providing a habitable living environment, which includes addressing mold problems.
Regularly inspect and maintain your home, control humidity levels, promptly repair leaks, and ensure good ventilation, especially in areas like bathrooms and kitchens.
