Mold Inspection in Burbank, IL
Older Homes • Basement Odor • Hidden Moisture Evaluation
Burbank properties often show mold in predictable patterns — older construction, mixed remodel years, concrete-heavy basements, and roof-leak history. Homes built between the 1950s–1980s frequently develop humidity pockets behind paneling or newer drywall. Many residents near Cicero Ave, Narragansett, 79th St, and 87th St notice a musty smell long before mold becomes visible.
We are inspection + testing only — never remediation, so our findings stay honest and unbiased. You receive moisture readings, infrared scanning, photo documentation, and lab sampling only when it provides actual value, never for upsell.
Service areas include Reavis, Liberty Park, Narragansett corridor, and all residential pockets across Burbank.
Why Mold is Common in Burbank
• Older homes refinish basements over original concrete → vapor gets trapped
• Cinderblock walls “sweat” during seasonal humidity spikes
• Roof age + patch repairs often hide slow attic moisture trails
• Vinyl or carpet flooring absorbs dampness below the surface
• Plumbing walls condense warm/cold air — mold grows inside cavities
Burbank mold issues usually start inside walls, not on the surface.
What Our Burbank Mold Inspection Includes
• Basement + attic + interior moisture investigation
• Moisture meter readings across trim, base plates & foundation walls

• Photo-documented report within 2–3 business days

When Mold Testing Matters in Burbank
• You smell mold but don’t see any visible growth
• Basement finished decades after original home construction
• Buying or selling — need inspection documentation
• Family members experience allergy-like symptoms only indoors
• Suspected mold behind paneling, drywall, or newer flooring
• Want comparison between basement and upper-level air
If lab testing isn’t needed — we tell you directly.
Typical Mold Conditions in Burbank
Cinderblock & Concrete Dampness
Moisture seeps inward and stays behind drywall.
Older Rooflines + Patch Repairs
Slow attic moisture leads to deck discoloration & mold.
Carpet or Vinyl Over Slab
Feels dry on top — wet beneath.
Low Ventilation Lower Levels
Air sits heavy → mold grows quietly over time.
Burbank Case Example
A homeowner near Narragansett reported basement odor without visible mold. Moisture readings showed elevated levels near the foundation, and infrared scanning found cold streaking behind drywall. Air samples confirmed higher spores only in the lower level — upstairs normal.
Targeted wall opening fixed the issue — no unnecessary teardown.
