Hidden in Plain Sight — Why Professional Mold Testing Matters for Every Home

The Problem You Can’t Ignore

Mold isn’t just an eyesore — it’s a health and home hazard that can hide behind walls, under floors, and inside HVAC systems. Even small colonies release microscopic spores that affect indoor air quality and cause respiratory problems, fatigue, and allergic reactions.

In Illinois, where humidity and seasonal moisture are common, undetected mold can spread quickly and damage drywall, insulation, and wood framing — sometimes long before homeowners even know it’s there.

That’s why professional mold testing by Quality Environmental Testing (QET) is a crucial step in keeping your home safe, healthy, and valuable.

Common Signs of a Mold Problem

While some mold growth is visible, most infestations start in hidden areas. Call for a professional mold inspection if you notice:

• Musty or damp odors

• Water stains or discoloration on ceilings or walls

• Recent leaks, flooding, or condensation issues

• Worsening allergies, coughing, or headaches indoors

Even without visible mold, air sampling can detect spores that reveal a problem early — before it spreads or becomes costly.
