Inspections Only – Not Remediation
Unlike cheaper companies with a conflict of interest, our partners provide unbiased assessments because they don't profit from finding problems. Our only job is to make sure you get the truth, not buy services you don't need.
Texas Occupations Code 1958.155(a) prohibits licensed mold inspectors from both inspecting and cleaning/remediating. We follow this ethical standard nationwide, even where not legally required.
Our Mold Inspection Process
Clear and thorough assessments for every home or office.
Initial Consultation:
We walk through your Chicago property's history — flat-roof leaks, basement seepage, polar-vortex pipe bursts, or that musty vintage-walkup smell.
On-Site Evaluation:
Inspectors assess basements, garden apartments, parapet walls, old radiator zones, and HVAC systems common in Chicagoland two- and three-flats.
Sample Collection:
We collect indoor air samples in every affected room, outdoor control samples, and surface swabs from any visible growth.
Lab Results & Report:
You'll receive a detailed independent report within 2 business days — usable for Chicago landlord-tenant disputes or pre-sale disclosures.
