Your Oak Park Mold Inspector

Frank Masoud

Professional Background:

IAC2 Certified, InterNACHI certification, Asbestos Certified

My career in home inspections started off with the opportunity to work in construction. With that experience in building and maintaining homes I was able to acquire a skill set that would kick off my career in home inspections. I have been in the business for over 10 years and have acquired many certifications.

Major Metro Served: How long have you lived here and what do you like most about living in this area.

I was born and raised in Chicago. I have lived here my whole life and know the city and outside areas very well. My favorite part about this great city is the Skyline, Lake Shore Drive and Deep Dish Pizza. The area is very diverse with many opportunities to expand my home inspection network.

What do you like most about being a mold inspector?:

Being well versed in my field makes my job worth it. I like being able to help people solve their mold issues that they may not have been aware of. It’s rewarding to provide helpful information to clients or companies because I know I am making a difference in someone’s current situation.

Describe an inspection that you are particularly proud of: (Specifics on mold issue, Client relationship, What was rewarding about it)

I have done a lot of home inspections the past 10 years and the ones that stand out to me give me further insight and motivation. There was an inspection I did where I was brought out to do the job on a Real Estate transaction. The client was worried and upset that she would have to spend thousands of dollars just to remediate. I did the testing and it did turn out to be a widespread mold infestation. I sent the reports and included the cleanup process and ended up saving her thousands of dollars. She hugged me and was in tears when she thanked me. It was very rewarding just by simply doing my job.

Why should a prospective client choose you to perform their mold inspection?:

This specific line of work has opened so many doors for me to further my education and skills. I am qualified beyond my own credentials just by having opportunities like this. I feel like my expertise and expertise for the work speaks for itself. I like what i do because not only is it rewarding, it is necessary. My diligence motivates me to work harder and acquire more to go further in the home inspection business. I work hard and want to continue to do well by clients and MIT itself so everyone is satisfied with my work.

Mold Inspection & Testing Oak Park Illinois

In terms of noticing things out of the ordinary within a property, here are some examples of common things that we come across. Excess moisture/humidity, visible mold growth, strange smells, stains on walls, and recent water damage often trigger people to give us a call and evaluate a property with a mold inspection Oak Park. Coming to us prior to contacting a restoration company is the best step to take.

Mold is naturally occurring all around us. Every home and business has mold spores throughout their indoor environment as it makes its way in through outside. However, these species of fungus is of the non-toxic variety and when a Elmhurst mold test is performed it should be seen at low levels. We take an outside air sample from your area to see what is normal and compare it to an inside sample and see if elevated conditions exist or not.

Our Oak Park mold inspector will also do a full visual of the property with tools like a moisture meter to identify any possible red flag areas like visible growth or walls holding excess moisture. If they do find anything they will recommend additional air and/or surface samples to both confirm a source of a problem and/or see how far it has spread. Those customers that do have elevated conditions, will be provided with a detailed protocol for removal so they can get their property returned to normal.
