What Illinois requires
Illinois does not require a statewide mold remediation license. However, the state has enacted mold awareness legislation, and contractors are expected to follow industry standards. Chicago and Cook County may have additional local requirements for mold remediation work. Homeowners should verify IICRC certification and insurance.
Homeowner policies in Illinois typically cover mold from sudden water damage events such as pipe bursts. Basement flooding is a common mold trigger, and separate flood insurance may be needed. Many Illinois insurers offer mold endorsements for additional coverage.
