Chicago’s mix of older homes, basements, and humid lake weather makes moisture a year-round concern.

Detecting mold early helps protect both property value and indoor air quality.
- 1 in 3Chicago homes test above the EPA’s safe radon limit.

Radon is naturally common in Cook County and surrounding areas. Our certified inspectors use continuous radon monitors to test gas levels over 48 hours and deliver clear digital reports. Knowing your home’s radon level helps keep your family safe and ensures compliance with state and real estate disclosure rules.
- Termites cause over $5 billion in property damage nationwide each year.
- High-risk zones include areas with older wood siding and poor drainage.
Chicago’s older wooden structures and warm months invite termite and carpenter ant activity. Our termite and pest inspection checks wood framing, crawlspaces, and exteriors for early signs of infestation or damage. Identifying it early prevents costly repairs and helps maintain your home’s long-term integrity.
- Heavy rain often overwhelms aging sewers in Cook County.
- Higly recommended for homes built before 1980 or with mature trees nearby.
Many Chicago neighborhoods still rely on clay or cast-iron sewer lines that can crack or clog with tree roots. Our sewer scope inspection uses a high-definition camera to view the full line, identifying blockages or corrosion before they cause backups or flooding.
