Mold Inspection & Testing in Chicago

Chicago properties have unique mold risks — older brick construction, flat roofs, and garden units create hidden conditions most inspectors miss.

His knowledge, responsiveness, and professionalism are top-tier. He takes the time to explain findings clearly, is thorough in his testing, and is always willing to help problem-solve when needed.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Mike was exceptionally thorough and professional. He has extensive expertise and experience with home mold inspection. He walked us through the final report in great detail, ensuring we understood every finding. My partner and I had conflicting views on how to proceed with mold in the basement, and Mike handled the situation with great respect. My partner finally understood what we were dealing with: Black mold!! He balanced the urgency of the matter with a reassuring, realistic perspective, providing sound professional advice without being alarmist. He encouraged questions and was excellent at explaining complex technical details to us. From the initial contact to the final report, Mike was hands-on and helpful. Highly highly recommended! Thank you!!"
