Client Reviews

Real Mold Inspection Reviews From Des Plaines

★★★★★
Pre-purchase inspection on a Des Plaines home with a known water damage history. Cheap Mold Removal's thermal imaging found moisture in the basement wall that was completely dry to the touch. Lab results showed elevated Aspergillus counts in the basement zone — not enough to kill the deal, but enough to negotiate a $4,500 remediation credit before closing. The inspection paid for itself forty times over.

★★★★★
Tenant mold complaint in one of our Des Plaines, IL apartment units. Cheap Mold Removal performed a formal inspection, produced a written report with accredited lab data, and our property attorney was satisfied with the documentation. Clean result confirmed by independent IH — gave us the documentation to respond to the complaint properly.
Marcus T.
Property manager, Des Plaines, IL
★★★★★
Our Des Plaines home had a persistent musty smell that three cleaning services said was 'just the house.' Cheap Mold Removal's inspector found elevated Penicillium and Cladosporium counts in the master bedroom near the HVAC return — traced to mold on the evaporator coil. We had the coil cleaned and re-tested. Clean clearance on second test. No more smell.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Des Plaines Property Owners Ask Before Booking

A Mold Inspection is the comprehensive process: an IICRC CMI-certified inspector physically assesses the property using thermal imaging, calibrated moisture meters, and borescope where warranted, then collects air and/or surface samples for accredited laboratory analysis. The resulting written report covers findings across the entire assessment. Mold testing refers specifically to the sampling and laboratory analysis component. A complete Mold Inspection includes testing — standalone testing without the physical inspection protocol provides less actionable data.
We charge a flat rate covering the on-site inspection, air sampling, lab shipping and processing, and written report delivery. The fee depends on property size and the number of sampling zones required. We disclose the full fee before scheduling — no per-sample billing after the visit. Call +1-844-578-1604 for current pricing on your specific Des Plaines property size and type.
Standard real estate inspections in Des Plaines, IL do not include air quality testing, thermal imaging for moisture, or mold-specific assessment. If the property has any water damage history, musty odor, crawl space moisture, HVAC concerns, or is located in a flood zone, a pre-purchase Mold Inspection is advisable. We've identified undisclosed mold in Des Plaines, IL properties where the general inspection report showed nothing actionable — in several cases, findings significantly affected the purchase negotiation or decision.
Standard equipment for every Des Plaines inspection: FLIR thermal imaging camera, calibrated pin and pinless moisture meters, RH and temperature data logger, spore trap air sampling pump with cassettes, borescope camera for wall cavity access, surface sampling swabs and tape lifts where warranted, and full PPE. Equipment is calibrated and the calibration records are available on request.
A certified Mold Inspection with accredited lab air sampling provides objective data on airborne mold species and concentrations in your Des Plaines, IL property — compared to outdoor baseline samples. Significantly elevated indoor counts of specific genera (particularly Stachybotrys, Chaetomium, or Aspergillus at high concentrations) indicate conditions warranting remediation. We translate lab findings into plain-language findings and recommendations. For health-related occupancy questions, we recommend sharing the written report with your physician alongside our findings.
