Think Your Last Water Damage Repair Was Sloppy? Mold Could Be Hiding

In the western suburbs of Illinois, sudden storms and basement floods are all too common. If your home experienced water damage and you hired a contractor to repair it, but you’re now worried something wasn’t done right, you’re not alone.
We get calls from homeowners who had another company “take care” of their water damage, only to find out months later that hidden moisture or poor workmanship led to mold growth.
Sloppy or incomplete dry outs can leave dampness behind walls, under floors, or in hidden areas that were never fully addressed. Over time, this creates the perfect environment for mold to grow, posing health risks and structural damage.
If you’ve noticed musty smells, unusual stains, or increased allergies since a past water incident, it’s worth getting a second opinion. At Hydro Shield Restoration, we specialize in mold assessments and post restoration inspections. We know what signs to look for and how to identify whether a previous job cut corners.
Your home deserves more than a quick patch job. If something doesn’t feel right, trust your gut and call us for a thorough evaluation.
