If you see mold right now
Three things to do while you wait
Stop the moisture
Shut off any active leak and wipe up standing water. Mold needs moisture to spread, so cutting the water source first slows it down.
Keep the area closed
Avoid disturbing or scrubbing heavy growth. Close doors to the room so spores are not spread through the rest of the home.

Local knowledge
Why mold appears in Alton homes
Homes in Alton and Madison County contend with persistent moisture. This dampness settles into basements, bathrooms, and crawl spaces, creating ideal conditions for mold.
The cause is consistently moisture, whether from indoor humidity, condensation, or water intrusion after heavy rain. Without intervention, mold spreads from one damp surface to another.
The process is comprehensive: the moisture source is traced, the area is contained, the mold is removed with HEPA filtration, and the structure is dried. One call schedules service in Alton.
- Air conditioning condensation promoting mold growth on cooler basement and interior walls
- Extended periods of high humidity that elevate indoor moisture levels
- Heavy rainfall and seasonal flooding that directs water toward foundations and lower levels
- Finished basements in older Alton homes with limited ventilation, allowing damp air to persist
Numerous Alton homes feature radon mitigation systems, with fans and pipes often located in areas prone to mold growth. Technicians work meticulously around these systems to clear the mold without disrupting mitigation.
Whatever started it, the moisture source gets found first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind. The methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
