Mold Inspection Glenview, IL – Certified Mold Testing Near You
Worried about mold in your Glenview home or business? You’re not alone. From aging brick homes near The Glen to modern condos by Waukegan Road, Glenview properties are prone to hidden moisture and mold issues — especially with our wild Chicagoland weather.
At Mr. Mold Inspector, we specialize in certified mold inspections and testing across Glenview and surrounding suburbs. Whether you're dealing with a musty odor, visible growth, or unexplained health symptoms, we provide detailed answers, lab-tested results, and a clear plan forward.
Why Mold Is a Real Risk in Glenview Homes
Glenview’s real estate is a blend of post-war bungalows, newer developments, and commercial buildings — all with their own set of mold risks. Here’s why Glenview is a hot spot for mold problems:
🧱 Basement seepage in older homes near Golf Rd and Lehigh Ave
🌧️ Heavy rains and flooding from North Branch River overflow
🌡️ Poor attic ventilation causing mold in rafters and sheathing
🚿 Bathroom and kitchen humidity without proper exhaust fans
🏗️ New builds with tight seals trapping moisture inside walls
Mold thrives anywhere moisture lingers. That’s why local experience matters — and why Glenview homeowners trust us to uncover hidden sources and prevent further damage.
What Our Glenview Mold Inspections Include
We’re not a mold cleanup company — we only do inspections and testing. That means you get unbiased answers with no conflict of interest. Every mold inspection in Glenview includes:
✅ Complete visual assessment – We inspect attics, basements, crawlspaces, behind walls, HVAC systems, and more
✅ Moisture detection – Using digital moisture meters and thermal imaging to locate active dampness
✅ Air quality testing – Sampling airborne mold spores (inside vs control) to uncover invisible issues
✅ Surface sampling – Swab tests of visible mold for species ID and spore count
✅ Infrared thermal scanning – Identify cold spots and leaks not visible to the eye
✅ Detailed inspection report – Easy-to-read findings, photos, recommendations, and lab results
Optional mold testing is tailored to your concerns. We only recommend lab testing when it adds real value — not just to pad a bill.

FAQ – Mold Testing & Inspections in Glenview
Do I need mold testing if I already see mold?
Sometimes. Testing helps identify the type and severity of mold. It’s especially useful for documentation or to confirm air contamination.
Will this inspection tell me if my home is safe?
Yes — we provide clear interpretations of results so you understand whether there’s a health concern, structural risk, or just cosmetic damage.
Can mold hide behind walls?
Absolutely. We use moisture meters and infrared cameras to detect hidden mold risks before they cause bigger problems.
Should I test air or surfaces?
It depends. Air sampling is best for invisible mold or health symptoms. Surface sampling confirms the species of visible mold
