I'm so, so glad I came across this company. I can't say enough good things from the very first call, to the actual indoor fungal assessment conducted and explained to me by Alexandria. I'd absolutely recommend to anyone who has any suspicion of mold issues or water event.

We decided to get AirMD to do a mold inspection and glad we did! Christian is an excellent technician and pointed out spots that were suspect. He took the time to explain to us his procedure and how we can fix the situation in the future. Hurricane Ian left his mark in the form of water spots on our ceiling, mold on the attic side.

Why Chicago Properties Need Professional Lead Testing

Chicago's housing landscape presents unique lead hazards, with over 75% of residential buildings constructed before the 1978 lead paint ban, particularly in neighborhoods like Pilsen, Little Village, and the South Side. Cook County's industrial history and proximity to former lead smelting operations compound soil contamination risks throughout the metropolitan area. Illinois landlord-tenant law requires lead hazard disclosure, while Chicago's Lead Poisoning Prevention Ordinance mandates specific testing protocols for rental properties with children under six. The city's harsh winters and temperature fluctuations accelerate paint deterioration, increasing lead dust exposure risks. Contractors working on Chicago's vintage buildings face strict EPA enforcement, with recent violations resulting in substantial penalties. Professional testing protects against regulatory violations while ensuring safe renovation practices. Schedule your Chicago lead assessment with AirMD at 1-888-GO-AIRMD to maintain compliance and protect community health.

Protecting Chicago Families and Workers from Lead Poisoning

Lead poisoning poses severe health risks to Chicago residents, particularly children who absorb lead at rates 4-5 times higher than adults, resulting in irreversible neurological damage, developmental delays, and learning disabilities. Professional lead testing protects Chicago families from toxic exposure while preventing long-term health consequences including behavioral problems, reduced IQ, and attention disorders that can impact children throughout their lives. DIY testing methods often provide inaccurate results and fail to meet EPA compliance standards, leaving families vulnerable to continued exposure and businesses at risk for regulatory violations. Our professional testing identifies lead hazards before renovation work begins, ensuring safe work practices that protect both workers and occupants from dangerous lead dust contamination. Chicago's aging housing stock demands expert assessment to prevent exposure incidents that could result in costly remediation and health impacts. Don't risk your family's health or business reputation with inadequate testing. Call AirMD at 1-888-GO-AIRMD immediately to schedule professional lead testing that protects Chicago families from preventable lead poisoning.
