Mold Inspection Palos Heights, IL
Certified Mold Testing for Finished Basements, Ranch Homes & Split-Levels
Palos Hills properties face mold for specific reasons — elevated terrain near forest preserve zones, older block foundations, seasonal humidity retention, and many homes with finished basements built decades after original construction. Houses near Moraine Valley, 111th, Roberts Rd, and the forest preserve boundary commonly develop mold behind drywall, paneling, or flooring despite clean visible surfaces.
We perform inspection + testing only — no remediation, no sales agenda.
You get moisture readings, infrared scans, photos, and lab samples only when needed to verify findings.
Serving Moraine Valley College area, 111th St corridor, Hickory Hills border, Roberts Rd, Palos Hills Heights, and subdivisions near Palos Forest Preserves.
Why Mold Forms in Palos Hills Homes
• Forest preserve humidity raises year-round moisture levels
• Older concrete blocks wick moisture upward into finishes
• Carpet + paneling hide slow fungal growth for years
• Split-levels push air unevenly between floors
• Basement remodels trap moisture under vinyl or pad
Mold here is usually slow, subtle, and hidden — not dramatic.
What Our Palos Hills Mold Inspection Includes
• Full attic, basement + interior evaluation
• Moisture meter readings at key wall + slab areas
• Thermal infrared imaging to detect invisible dampness
• Optional lab samples when data is needed
• Detailed written report with photos (2–3 business days)
• Findings explained clearly — no vague terminology
• Recommendations based purely on evidence
When Mold Testing Makes Sense
• Basement or lower-level smells musty
• Past seepage, sump, or drainage concerns
• Buying or selling a home requires proof
• Seasonal allergies worsen indoors
• Need post-remediation verification
• Suspected hidden growth behind wall finishes
• Compare basement vs upper-level air quality
If you don’t need testing — we tell you. No push.
Common Mold Conditions in Palos Hills
Basement Carpet or Laminate Over Slab
Moisture stays beneath flooring where mold spreads quietly.
Forest-Zone Humidity Absorption
Homes closer to preserves retain moisture longer.
Vinyl/Paneling Finishes Over Block Walls
Moisture from block travels into drywall + insulation cavities.
Split-Level Air Movement Imbalance
Warm, humid air collects in lower spaces over time.
Palos Hills Case Example
A home near Moraine Valley reported odor only after rain. Moisture readings confirmed damp lower drywall and infrared imaging revealed cool moisture channels behind finished walls. Air sampling showed elevated spores limited to the basement — upper floors were normal.
Selective removal + drainage correction solved the issue affordably.
