Joliet mold remediation guidance
Find the moisture source, contain the work, and plan for safe drying.
Joliet's housing stock spans nearly two centuries -- from the 32 East Side homes built between 1852 and 1873 near the old rail depot, through the mid-century blocks of the Cathedral Area and oak-lined Belmont, to postwar subdivisions in Crest Hill and New Lenox and newer construction further out in Plainfield and Minooka. That range of construction eras, paired with a Des Plaines River watershed where basement flooding and sewer backup are a documented regional concern, keeps humidity and crawlspace or attic moisture a live issue in older and newer homes alike.

The house and site are part of the scope.
Visible growth is only part of the problem. A durable plan addresses water entry, humidity, material condition, containment, and post-work verification.

The Joliet East Side Historic District counts 290 buildings today, 281 of them contributing to its National Register listing, including 32 houses built between 1852 and 1873 in the modified Queen Anne style favored near the old rail depot. Homes of that vintage were framed and ventilated for a very different expectation than modern construction, and they sit alongside newer building waves in Crest Hill (incorporated 1960), New Lenox (incorporated 1946), and outer suburbs like Plainfield and Minooka -- which is why a moisture plan has to be matched to the decade a house was actually built, not treated as one uniform housing stock.

“Joliet was platted in 1834 and became Will County's seat in 1836, renamed for French explorer Louis Jolliet in 1845. The Illinois and Michigan Canal, excavated between 1836 and 1848, exposed the dolomite bedrock that made Joliet 'Stone City,' and the East Side Historic District that grew up around that era still carries 32 houses built between 1852 and 1873.”
