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 Centreville-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 Centreville, IL homes
Mold Inspection in Centreville tends to start the same way mold does across Saint Clair County: air conditioning condensation feeding mold on cool basement and closet walls. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Alorton, East Saint Louis, Sauget and the rest of Centreville call us.
We handle mold inspection for Centreville 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 Columbia, about 20 minutes from our Columbia base, so we can usually reach a Centreville home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
