We were about to finish our basement and wanted it checked first given the age of the house. The inspection found a small moisture issue near the foundation we wouldn't have noticed, and we got it handled before it became a bigger problem.

Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Kaneville-area neighbors
Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
They removed mold from our HVAC system and ducts. Breathing at home feels easier now.

Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Kaneville, IL homes
Mold Inspection in Kaneville tends to start the same way mold does across Kane County: heavy rain and seasonal flooding pushing water toward foundations and crawl spaces. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Elburn, Big Rock, Maple Park and the rest of Kaneville call us.
We handle mold inspection for Kaneville the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Sugar Grove, about 10 minutes from our Sugar Grove base, so we can usually reach a Kaneville home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
