Mold Testing & Inspection Chicago, Illinois

If you're exploring our website, chances are concerns about indoor mold growth in your home or business have prompted your visit. This concern is valid, as ongoing research indicates that indoor mold can contribute to various health issues, ranging from respiratory problems and mold allergies to induced asthma, dry eyes, sore throat, and even more severe conditions. Whether you've noticed symptoms or simply detected an unusual smell, or perhaps you've recently experienced water damage or mold removal, our Chicago mold testing services are designed to provide clarity.

1. A Comprehensive Inspection Process: Precision Tools, Informed Decisions

Our inspection process commences with a meticulous visual examination of your property. We deploy advanced tools, including moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras, to identify potential issues such as water intrusion, excess moisture, or visible mold growth. Concluding the visual assessment, we pinpoint the area of greatest concern. An air sample is taken and compared to an outside air sample, establishing baseline numbers for normal mold levels. This detailed approach ensures that every aspect of your property is scrutinized.

2. Tailored Sampling for Accurate Results

While visible mold may prompt concern, not all mold growth is problematic. Misconceptions often lead people to believe that all mold is toxic black mold. Our certified Chicago mold inspectors use sampling to precisely identify the situation. By the end of our inspection, you'll possess comprehensive information: the mold species and quantity, the source location, and the extent of its spread.

3. Unbiased Assessment: Navigating the Pitfalls of "Free Mold Inspections"

Contrary to some restoration companies offering "Free Mold Inspections," this can present a conflict of interest, as they may benefit from recommending professional mold removal. Visual checks alone cannot determine the toxicity of mold species. Opting for a certified mold inspector ensures an impartial assessment grounded in scientifically validated results.

4. Post-Remediation Assurance: The Role of Clearance Testing

For those directly entering the removal process, we highly recommend incorporating clearance testing. Restoration companies often establish a containment area during remediation. By leaving this area intact, we conduct air sampling to verify the completion of the work. If results show acceptable levels, no further action is necessary. If not, we provide instructions for a pass.

5. Supporting Contractors and Restoration Companies: Partnering for Excellence

Our services extend to general contractors and restoration companies in the Chicagoland area. Whether you need pre-remediation protocols or post-remediation verification testing, we're committed to ensuring the accuracy and quality of your work.
