Moldman's Mold Inspection and Mold Testing Service

Moldman offers mold inspection and mold testing services for Lake Forest, IL residents. While we are experts in mold inspections and testing, please note that in many cases a mold inspection with testing is NOT needed when you see obvious visible mold. This is a fact many mold companies will not disclose but it is generally the case. Even the EPA agrees, stating “In most cases, if visible mold growth is present, sampling is unnecessary.”

Why is sampling or testing usually unnecessary when clear, visible mold is present? Because the proper steps to remove mold are the same regardless of what the test results might reveal.

But in cases where a mold inspection with testing is needed (E.g. you do not see obvious visible mold but something smells musty, like mold), we can do this fast and affordably. Here are the the steps we take during a mold inspection:

1. We fully assess your home and look for mold, signs of mold or signs of water damage (which might indicate hidden mold growth)

2. We perform air testing and/or surface testing

3. We then send your samples off to 3rd party lab and typically get results 1-2 business days later

4. Once we receive the lab results, we write up personalized report for your situation that is written in plain English that is based on the lab results and our own assessment of the home

5. The final step is to email you the written report and lab results

6. If you have a mold issue, we can also provide you with a free quote to remove it
