Why Mold Inspections are Important in Evanston
Evanston homes — especially near Lake Michigan or around Northwestern’s campus — are at elevated risk for mold due to:
🧱 Older construction (many homes built before the 1950s)
🌊 High ambient humidity from the lakefront
🛠️ DIY renovations in student housing and multifamily units
🔄 Basement flooding or past water damage
🧰 Poor attic ventilation in historic homes
Zip codes like 60201, 60202, and 60208 have large numbers of homes with aging materials, porous plaster walls, and outdated HVAC systems — all of which can trap moisture and fuel mold growth.
Even homes that look dry and clean can have invisible spore contamination that impacts air quality and health.

Evanston Mold Case Study: Victorian Near Church Street
A homeowner in a late-1800s Victorian near Church Street was preparing to install central air. Before cutting into old plaster walls, they booked an inspection. We found elevated moisture in the wall cavity behind the fireplace.
An air cavity sample confirmed high Aspergillus/Penicillium spores, even though nothing was visible. A remediation crew corrected it early — saving thousands in potential spread and drywall replacement.
Symptoms That May Point to Hidden Mold
Evanston’s climate can mask mold behind walls, ceilings, or floorboards — even when everything looks fine. Watch for:
Persistent congestion, sinus problems, or headaches
Musty or earthy smell indoors
Allergy-like symptoms that improve when you leave home
Condensation on windows or HVAC vents
Past flooding, plumbing leaks, or visible water stains
Warped floors or peeling paint
If you notice any of these signs, a professional mold inspection gives you clarity — not guesswork.
