  • What's the difference between mold inspection and mold testing?
  • A mold inspection is a full property examination by a certified inspector. Mold testing refers specifically to the laboratory analysis of air or surface samples. A complete mold inspection in Northbrook includes both — the physical inspection and the lab testing — to give you the full picture.

Air sampling can also reveal elevated mold spore counts that indicate hidden mold even when it's not visible.
  • What happens if mold is found during the inspection?
  • If mold is found during your Northbrook inspection, your report will include detailed remediation recommendations — what needs to be treated, the scope of work, and priority areas.
