Mold Testing Services in Fairview Heights, IL

Fairview Heights ranches share a birthday and share the same weak points. Bathroom exhaust fans from the 60s and 70s that vent into the attic instead of outside, original gutters and grading that have settled out of alignment, and basements that have taken on a little water every decade since Nixon.

Here's the job we keep seeing here. A homeowner finds dark staining on the bathroom ceiling and assumes it's a roof leak. It isn't. The exhaust fan has been pumping shower humidity into the attic for fifty years, and the mold is growing on the attic side of the ceiling drywall and on the roof sheathing above it. We confirmed it with a moisture survey and surface samples, and the fix was a vent run to the exterior plus a defined remediation area, not a new roof.

Our inspection covers the whole moisture picture: attic and exhaust venting, bathroom and kitchen humidity paths, basement walls and floors, and the HVAC that moves air between them. Air samples compared against an outdoor baseline and surface samples of suspect growth go to an accredited lab, and the report explains the findings in plain language with clear next steps.

Call us for ceiling stains and musty bathrooms, basement odors after rain, allergy symptoms that improve when you leave the house, pre-purchase testing on homes of this era, and post-remediation clearance.

We're NORMI certified and independent-minded: if the lab says your levels are normal, the report says that, and you keep your money.
