Understanding Mold Growth in Alton, IL Homes: Risks & Remediation


Mold is a natural part of the environment, but it becomes a problem when it grows indoors. For mold to thrive in your Alton, IL home, it needs moisture, a food source (most building materials like wood, drywall, paper), and the right temperature. Common causes of indoor mold include:

  • Water Damage: Unresolved leaks (roof, plumbing), floods, appliance malfunctions, or even high humidity common in parts of Alton, IL.
  • Poor Ventilation: Areas like bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and attics without adequate airflow can trap moisture.
  • Condensation: Can occur on cooler surfaces when indoor humidity is high.

Health & Property Risks of Mold:


  • Health Concerns: Mold exposure can trigger allergic reactions (sneezing, rash, itchy eyes), asthma attacks, and respiratory irritation in sensitive individuals. Some molds produce mycotoxins, which can have more serious health effects with prolonged exposure.
  • Property Damage: Mold digests organic materials, leading to deterioration of drywall, wood framing, carpeting, and other building materials, eventually causing structural damage if unaddressed. It can also cause persistent musty odors.
