Mold Inspection Chicago IL
Certified Mold Inspection & Testing for Chicago Properties
Independent • Licensed • No Remediation Sales
Trusted for Condos, Two-Flats, Apartments & Homes
Chicago properties experience mold differently than suburban homes. Older brick construction, flat roofs, garden units, lakefront humidity, and stacked multi-unit airflow all contribute to hidden moisture problems that often go undetected.
Inspection & Testing Only — Never Remediation
Mr Mold Inspector provides mold inspection and testing only. We do not perform mold removal or remediation of any kind.
That means no scare tactics, no upsells, and no incentive to exaggerate findings. Every inspection is based on moisture measurements, infrared thermal imaging, photo documentation, and laboratory testing only when it provides real diagnostic value.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Trusted by Chicago Clients
“Mr Mold Inspector delivered exactly what they promised. They inspected our Lincoln Park two-flat and identified moisture behind the older brick construction. We appreciated their completely unbiased report — no pushy sales tactics for remediation, just clear data and honest recommendations.”
— David M., Lincoln Park

Why Mold Is Common in Chicago Properties
Chicago’s climate and building stock create mold risks that are often hidden and structural rather than obvious.
Older brick and masonry walls absorb and release moisture slowly. Flat roofs and parapets allow long-term moisture intrusion. Garden units and below-grade spaces trap humidity year-round. Lakefront climate raises indoor humidity even without active leaks. Stacked airflow in multi-unit buildings transfers moisture between floors. Winter freeze-thaw cycles cause condensation inside wall assemblies.
In Chicago, mold problems are rarely surface-level — they are usually concealed.

Common Mold Conditions in Chicago
Brick & Masonry Wall Moisture
Moisture migrates inward and stays hidden behind finishes.
Flat Roof & Parapet Leaks
Slow water intrusion causes ceiling and wall mold.
Garden Units & Below-Grade Apartments
Limited airflow + humidity = persistent mold risk.
Multi-Unit Airflow Transfer
Moisture and spores move between floors and units.
Attic Condensation in Winter
Warm air meets cold roof decking → slow mold growth.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We suspected an issue in our garden unit due to Chicago's lakefront humidity. Their use of infrared thermal imaging pinpointed the exact source of hidden moisture that our eyes missed. The inspection fee was the best money we spent; the detailed lab analysis gave us peace of mind and the documentation to fix it right the first time." — Sarah T., Gold Coast
Chicago Case Example
A North Side two-flat reported a musty odor in a garden unit after winter. Moisture readings showed elevated levels along exterior brick walls, and thermal imaging revealed cold moisture patterns behind drywall. Air sampling confirmed elevated spore levels in the garden unit only, while upper floors tested normal.
Targeted repairs and ventilation adjustments resolved the issue without full gut renovation.
