🏡 Common Mold Problems in Elmhurst Homes
Elmhurst’s older brick and frame construction, combined with DuPage’s humid summers, create perfect mold conditions:
Basement leaks from foundation cracks or sump pump failure
Attic condensation under poorly ventilated roofs
Bathroom ceilings and shower caulk with chronic humidity
Laundry areas with hidden pipe leaks
Window sills and HVAC returns collecting condensation
Regular testing protects your home from expensive structural damage and improves indoor air quality.
