Mold Detection FAQs

  • Does the Fox River flooding I've seen in Algonquin actually affect my mold risk?

    It can, even if your home wasn't the one that flooded. During the April 2026 flooding, the Fox River at Algonquin crested three feet over flood stage, threatening North Harrison Street near Riverside Park and forcing the closure of Cornish Park along the riverbank. Homes throughout that corridor absorbed elevated groundwater for days, not just the properties directly on the water. That kind of sustained moisture exposure is exactly what creates hidden mold growth behind walls and under flooring, well after the visible flooding has receded and the yard looks dry again.

  • My basement never actually flooded during the recent Fox River rise. Do I still need an inspection?

    Yes, and this is one of the most common situations we see in Algonquin. A basement can absorb moisture through foundation walls during a prolonged high-water event even without taking on standing water. That trapped moisture often isn't visible for weeks, since it's inside wall cavities or under flooring rather than on the surface. Our mold detection dog identifies the scent of active mold growth in these exact spaces, giving you a factual answer instead of relying on whether you happened to see water on the floor.

  • How quickly should I get inspected after a Fox River flood event?

    We recommend scheduling an inspection once floodwaters have fully receded and the area is safe to access, typically within one to two weeks of the water dropping below flood stage. Mold needs time to establish, so an inspection too soon after flooding may miss growth that hasn't yet produced a detectable scent. Waiting too long, on the other hand, lets hidden mold spread further into wall assemblies and subflooring. Our dog is trained to catch this window accurately, whether the flood was last week or last month.
