What Our Des Plaines Inspectors Do

Six inspection scenarios — each with its own diagnostic focus and deliverable.

🏠
Pre-Purchase Buyer Mold Inspection
Before you close on a Des Plaines, IL property, our inspectors assess moisture intrusion history, map any active mold zones, and collect air samples for lab analysis. A written report with findings gives buyers and their agents leverage — and peace of mind. Elevated spore counts found during a pre-purchase inspection have saved our clients far more than the inspection cost.
🔒
Post-Remediation Clearance Inspection
We perform post-remediation clearance inspections for both property owners who used other contractors and as an independent verification step for our own remediation work. Written clearance reports are usable for insurance and real estate disclosure purposes.
📈
Odor Investigation & Hidden Mold Survey
When you smell mold but can't see it, our Des Plaines, IL odor investigation protocol uses non-invasive tools to locate the source. Thermal camera sweeps, systematic moisture readings, and targeted air sampling tell us where to look — and what we find — before any opening of walls.
🏢
Commercial & Multi-Family Property Inspection
Office buildings, schools, apartment complexes, and retail spaces in Des Plaines, IL require thorough documentation for liability, tenant relations, and insurance. Our commercial Mold Inspection teams cover multiple floors, HVAC systems, and shared spaces — producing zone-by-zone written reports with air sample data for each inspected area.
💧
Water Damage & Moisture Intrusion Assessment
After a water event in a Des Plaines, IL property, our inspectors use moisture mapping to identify every wet zone — including concealed moisture inside wall assemblies that a surface check would miss. We document moisture readings against IICRC drying standards and identify zones at risk of mold development if drying isn't completed promptly.

Reviews

What Des Plaines, IL Clients Say About Our Mold Inspection

★★★★★
The thermal imaging during our Des Plaines inspection found moisture behind a wall that looked completely dry to the eye. Turned out there was a slow roof leak feeding a significant mold colony in the wall cavity. The written report from Cheap Mold Removal was exactly what our real estate attorney needed.
Sandra L.
Homebuyer, Des Plaines
★★★★★
Our tenants complained about mold odor but we couldn't find anything visible. Cheap Mold Removal's inspector used a borescope to look inside the wall cavity near the HVAC return — found significant Aspergillus growth on the back side of the drywall. Without the inspection, we would have kept replacing surface materials and never fixed the actual problem.
James P.
Landlord, Des Plaines, IL
★★★★★
Our school district required a certified air quality inspection after a water intrusion event. Cheap Mold Removal produced the exact type of report our district's health officer required — zone-by-zone air sample data, moisture readings, and inspector certifications included. Inspection was completed quickly and the report was ready before our board meeting deadline.

FAQ

Common Questions About Mold Inspection in Des Plaines, IL

A Mold Inspection is the broader process: a certified inspector physically assesses the property using thermal imaging, moisture meters, and visual inspection to identify risk areas, then collects air and/or surface samples for lab analysis. The resulting written report covers findings across the whole property. Mold testing refers specifically to the sampling and lab analysis component. A Mold Inspection includes testing as part of a comprehensive assessment.
For a typical Des Plaines, IL single-family home, expect 60–90 minutes on-site. The written report is delivered after lab results return — usually 2–3 business days from the inspection date. We can sometimes expedite lab processing for time-sensitive real estate situations.
A certified Mold Inspection with air sampling gives you objective data on spore types and concentrations inside your Des Plaines, IL home compared to outdoor baseline levels. Significantly elevated indoor counts of certain species — particularly Stachybotrys, Aspergillus, or Chaetomium — indicate conditions that warrant remediation. We provide clear findings but note that final occupancy decisions are ultimately yours to make in consultation with your physician if health concerns exist.
Pre-purchase mold inspections in Des Plaines have saved our clients significant money. We've found undisclosed crawl space mold, wall cavity infestations masked by fresh paint, and HVAC systems with Aspergillus growth — all in properties where the standard home inspection found nothing actionable.
Standard equipment for a Des Plaines, IL mold inspection includes thermal camera, calibrated moisture meters, RH/temp probe, air sampling pump with spore trap cassettes, and borescope for wall cavity investigation when warranted. Photos are taken throughout and included in the written report.
