If you're in Arlington Heights and dealing with musty smells, staining on ceilings, or just a bad feeling about what’s behind the walls — you’re not alone.

We test. We explain. You decide.
Arlington Heights: Mold Risk by the Numbers
Here’s what makes Arlington Heights mold-prone (even in clean, well-kept homes):
| Risk Factor | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Older basements | Many homes near Central Rd & Wilke were built pre-1980 without proper drainage |
| Attic heat stack | Cape Cods near Arlington Lakes Golf Club trap humidity in the eaves |
| Enclosed sunrooms | Popular in homes built 1975–1995, but often under-ventilated |
| Flipped homes | Many have fresh paint hiding past water damage |
Even homes near Prospect High School, Northgate, and Pioneer Park have had undetected attic mold, drywall rot, and high airborne spore counts.

Arlington Heights Case Study: Crawlspace Surprise
Location: 1960s split-level home near Thomas Middle School
Concern: Foul odor coming through floor vents in spring
Findings:
Moisture levels >30% in crawl joists
Elevated Cladosporium and Aspergillus in return vents
Ductwork run through unsealed crawlspace
Swab sample confirmed visible mold
📅 The owner had just installed new floors — testing prevented them from ripping them out again based on a guess. They remediated only the crawl and sealed the HVAC.
