At ARC Insulation, we offer the convenience of working with one contractor for both mold solutions and insulation services. Call us at the first sign of mold and we can inspect the severity of the issue in your home and provide a clear path to a long-lasting resolution. Some common signs of mold intrusion are:

The Dangers of Mold
Mold thrives in moisture, which makes it easy to grow in underinsulated areas of your home—like behind drywall or in attics and basements. These areas are the most susceptible to mold growth in Naperville because the wide range of temperatures between indoors and outdoors causes increased condensation levels. Moldy insulation increases indoor air quality issues and will almost always require insulation removal.
Mold can be especially dangerous because certain species can release harmful allergens and irritants causing health problems, including:
- Increased asthma symptoms
- Throat irritation
- Lung inflammation
Mold growth can also create structural issues in your home if it reaches anywhere in its support system—like the foundation or ceiling joists. Since mold can grow on any organic material, it’s important to schedule a mold inspection if you suspect its presence. If your home or building experiences a flood or severe water leak, it’s always a good idea to check for mold growth before it becomes a serious issue that requires intensive and costly repairs.
