Mold Testing in Edwardsville, IL

Edwardsville's mix works against it. Historic Leclaire homes have century-old foundations and plaster that holds moisture, the rental stock around SIUE cycles tenants who report musty smells to landlords who need real answers, and even the new builds trap humidity when they're sealed tight for efficiency.

A common Edwardsville call comes from a landlord. A tenant reports a moldy smell in a rental near campus, and the landlord needs to know two things fast: is there actually a problem, and can it be documented either way. We inspect, take moisture readings, and pull air samples inside and out. Sometimes the lab confirms elevated spore levels traced to a slow bathroom leak, and the landlord fixes it with paperwork showing they acted. Sometimes indoor levels match the outdoor baseline, and the landlord has independent documentation that the unit is clean. Both answers have value, and we deliver whichever one is true.

Our inspection starts visual: we look for growth, staining, and the moisture conditions that feed them. Moisture meters find what's wet behind surfaces. Air samples get compared against an outdoor baseline by an accredited lab, and surface samples identify what any visible growth actually is. The written report explains what was found, what it means, and what should happen next, in plain language.

Test when you smell something musty, after any water event, when allergy or respiratory symptoms track with time spent indoors, before buying or selling, and after remediation to confirm the work actually cleared the problem.

We're NORMI certified mold assessors, and the results you get reflect your building, not a sales pitch.
