Why Schedule a Real Estate Mold Inspection

A property may appear clean and well-maintained while hidden mold remains concealed within the structure. Identifying potential mold issues before closing allows buyers and sellers to make informed decisions and avoid unexpected expenses after the sale.

Our Real Estate Inspection service helps:

  • Detect hidden mold before purchasing a property

  • Provide added confidence during the buying process

  • Support sellers before listing their home

  • Help avoid unexpected repair costs

  • Identify areas that may require further evaluation

  • Assist real estate professionals in protecting their clients

Know What You're Buying Before You Close

Whether you’re purchasing your dream home, selling a property, or representing a client, hidden mold can become an unexpected and costly surprise. Mold often develops behind walls, beneath flooring, inside ceilings, attics, crawl spaces, and HVAC systems—areas that aren’t always visible during a standard home inspection.

At Chicago Mold Dog LLC, our Real Estate Inspection service uses Wally, our highly trained mold detection dog, to help identify potential hidden mold before a real estate transaction is finalized. Wally’s exceptional scent detection abilities provide a fast, non-invasive way to locate areas of concern, giving buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals greater confidence throughout the transaction.
