best mold inspection in Chicago

Discovering mold in your Chicago home or business can be alarming, affecting both your property's structure and your family's health. Our comprehensive mold testing and remediation service is designed to identify the full scope of the problem and eliminate it completely. We start with a thorough, no-obligation inspection to assess visible mold and potential hidden growth behind walls or under floors.

Our certified technicians then use advanced air and surface sampling to determine the mold type and spore count. For remediation, we don't cut corners. We contain the affected area, use HEPA filtration to capture airborne spores, and employ our powerful, patent-pending cleaning agents that are EPA-approved and non-toxic, yet kill 99.9% of mold. For severe cases or large areas, our industrial ozone machine can sanitize up to 20,000 sq. ft. in 15 minutes, neutralizing odors at their source.

The process concludes with a post-remediation verification test to ensure your space is safe and mold-free. With 17 years of experience and a guarantee on all our work, you can breathe easy knowing your Chicago property is in the hands of licensed professionals who prioritize your long-term safety.
