Mold Inspection & Testing.

Chicago’s freeze-thaw winters and humid summers make moisture and mold a real concern. We inspect the trouble spots and collect samples for lab analysis so you get answers, not guesses.

Radon Testing

Radon is a colorless, odorless gas common in Illinois basements — and the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. We test it accurately so you know exactly where your home stands before you close.

Sewer Scoping

Chicago’s older clay and cast-iron sewer laterals crack, sag, and fill with roots. We run a camera down the line so a five-figure surprise never shows up after closing.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before they book.

Where does mold usually show up in Chicago homes?

Basements, crawl spaces, attics, and bathrooms are the usual suspects, especially in older homes with past water intrusion or poor ventilation. We inspect these areas and sample where needed.

Do I get lab results?

Yes. When we sample, the results are analyzed by an independent lab and included in a comprehensive report, so you have documented findings — not opinions.

They saved us from a nightmare.

“We had an exceptional experience with Ray from the moment we hired him. His communication was prompt and he arrived on location early. Ray was kind and warm and immediately made us comfortable upon meeting him. He worked hard the entire 3 hours he was there and was extremely thorough, taking care to point things of interest out to us as he went. He was calm, professional, honest and knowledgeable. Ray gave us the information and professional opinions we needed to make an informed decision, ultimately walking away from a house that saved us from a nightmare situation down the road. Highly, highly recommend!!!”

Even our realtor was impressed.

“We had a great experience with Sahm Home Inspections. The inspection was long and thorough, and Ray was polite and great to work with. He addressed all of our major concerns and explained some extra information about the questions we had. Even our realtor, who hadn’t worked with them before, thought it was a good process and plans to hold on to their contact information to work with them again.”

“Ray did an amazing job. He was very thorough with the inspection, was well documented with notes and photos, and went above and beyond by explaining some of the nuances of the home. He was very polite and respectful too. His report was very detailed and he offered to talk through it if I liked. Definitely recommend.”

Got me in within the 5-day window.

“It was a pleasure working with Ray! I reached out to him after putting in an offer and he was able to get me in within the 5-day window. I was a little skeptical, being a first time condo buyer — but he quickly gained my trust as a fellow former service member and talking through his process with me. Will work with him again & highly recommend!”

Professional and high-tech.

“Ray was professional and high tech! I would highly recommend SAHM home inspectors for your next home inspection. He gave great advice and helped inform me throughout the process so I knew what to expect. His final report was most impressive with an interactive portal that allows me to easily filter and skip to the areas I want to see.”
