Mold Inspection Wilmette, IL
Certified Mold Testing for Homes, Condos & Rentals — No Remediation Upsell
Wilmette properties face mold conditions tied to lake humidity, aging wall systems, renovated attics, and tightly sealed homes that trap moisture. Many houses near the lake or in older parts of Wilmette experience mold behind drywall, under flooring, or inside attic insulation without visible warning signs.
Mr. Mold Inspector of North Shore Chicago is a testing-only inspection service — we never sell remediation, meaning you receive clear, unbiased information with no conflict of interest. If mold exists, we document it properly with photos, moisture readings, and optional lab analysis.
Service areas include Central Wilmette, Sheridan Rd properties, Kenilworth border, Romona, McKenzie, Ridge Rd corridor, Lake Avenue, Green Bay Rd, and Gillson Park homes.
Why Mold is Common in Wilmette
Wilmette’s coastal climate increases humidity indoors, while winter freeze-thaw cycles promote condensation in attics and roof cavities. Finished basements often conceal past water seepage, and tight energy-efficient renovations reduce airflow — allowing moisture to accumulate behind walls.
Even well-maintained, high-value homes grow mold quietly when unseen dampness persists.

When Mold Testing Should Be Considered
• Musty or damp odor in basement or bedrooms

• After remediation to verify clearance
• Suspected hidden mold behind drywall or floors
• Comparing basement vs. main level air quality
Mold Problems We Frequently Find in Wilmette
Attic Mold from Ice Dams
Warm air rises, hits cold roof deck, condensation = mold creep.
Basement Humidity & Foundation Dampness
Moisture travels through foundation walls and collects behind finishes.
Hidden Mold from Tight Renovations
Airflow restriction + insulation creates perfect micro-environments for mold.
Bathroom Venting Into Attic
Warm shower air discharged into attic instead of outside → fungal growth.
Real Wilmette Case Example
A home near Gillson Park had recurring odor and attic discoloration. Infrared scanning identified moisture trapped beneath insulation, likely from roof ventilation imbalance. Air sampling showed elevated spore counts, confirming active mold growth. With our report, the homeowner requested precise remediation — no over-demo, no extra charges.
