We were about to finish our basement and wanted it checked first given the age of the house. The inspection found a small moisture issue near the foundation we wouldn't have noticed, and we got it handled before it became a bigger problem.

Thorough inspection and a fair quote. They explained the lab results in plain words and never pushed anything on us.
The team contained the work area with plastic sheeting and air scrubbers. Our kids stayed safe the whole time.

Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Westmont, IL homes
Mold Inspection in Westmont tends to start the same way mold does across DuPage County: roof and plumbing leaks in Westmont homes that feed hidden mold for months before anyone notices. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Downers Grove, Hinsdale, Willowbrook and the rest of Westmont call us.
We handle mold inspection for Westmont the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Clarendon Hills, about 5 minutes from our Clarendon Hills base, so we can usually reach a Westmont home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
Westmont specifics
What Mold Inspection in Westmont really involves
Our crew has done Mold Inspection across DuPage County enough to know how air conditioning condensation feeding mold on cool basement and closet walls moves through these homes. Around here, mold inspection tends to settle into basements, crawl spaces, and behind walls before anyone in the house notices it. The reason Mold Inspection comes up so often here is simple: humid seasons, working on local homes month after month. When people here search for Mold Inspection, the growth they can see is usually the last symptom, not the cause.
By the time a family calls us for Mold Inspection, they have usually already seen a damp, earthy smell you cannot place. Older and newer homes alike need Mold Inspection, from the newer builds near Cicero to the oldest ones in town. We keep Mold Inspection contained and tidy, so the rest of the home near Hinsdale stays livable while we work. Mold Inspection is one of the more common calls we get from homeowners around Westmont.
