Healthier Homes, Cleaner Air
Mold Inspection & Air Quality Testing
In Northern Illinois and the greater Chicagoland area, mold often hides in basements, crawl spaces, and tight corners, affecting the air you breathe every day. During a typical home inspection, I may find *suspected* mold and, with your permission, recommend testing it so you’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with and what to do next. Mold inspection and air quality testing are also available as standalone services, even if you’re not scheduling a full home inspection.
The Process
How It Works
01
I Collect Samples
I test any areas where mold is visible or where conditions are conducive to growth. I will test the air for mold spores and visible mold to determine the type present.
02
Lab Analysis
Samples are sent to a third-party certified laboratory for analysis.
03
You Get a Report
I will then issue a detailed report within 3-5 business days including whether mold is present, the types of mold, and the mold levels.
Testing Built Around Your Concern During Your Typical Home Inspection
Surface Testing
For Visible Mold Problems
When you can see the problem, I will swab the suspect area and sample it directly to confirm exactly what type of mold has taken hold and how far it has spread.
Air Quality Testing
For Identifying Problems in the Breathing Air
No visible mold but poor air quality? I capture airborne spores to reveal hidden growth affecting the air your family breathes every day.
Air & Surface
For Complete Peace of Mind
The complete picture. I combine surface and air sampling so nothing slips through, giving you total confidence in your home’s health.
Why It Matters
What You Can’t See Can Still Affect Your Health
Mold doesn’t need to be visible to be a problem. It grows behind walls, under flooring, and inside HVAC systems, releasing spores that circulate through the air you breathe.
Professional testing gives you clear, lab-verified answers so you can protect your family’s health and make informed decisions before a small issue becomes a costly one.
