Kitchen Mold Remediation in Upper Alton, IL: common questions
How can I tell if a kitchen leak has caused mold?
Signs include swollen or warped cabinet wood, a musty smell near the sink or fridge, or staining on a cabinet back.

The moisture source is identified and documented, but plumbing and appliance repairs are separate, so homeowners are advised what requires a specialist.
