Mold Testing

The presence of mold in a home can greatly impact its value and, more importantly, pose serious health risks to you and your loved ones. If you notice any of the signs of mold, we recommend that you schedule mold testing to assess the situation and understand its severity.

MOLD TESTING 101

Step 1

We test any areas of the house where mold is visible or where conditions are conducive to its growth. We can test the air for mold spores and we can test the visible mold in order to determine the type present.

Step 2

We send the samples to a third-party laboratory for analysis.

Step 3

We issue a report within 3 days that includes: Whether or not mold is present, the types of mold, the mold levels.

Certain types of mold release mold spores that can reach unhealthy levels inside your home. The only way to know for certain is to order an air quality mold test. This includes one indoor air sample test and one outdoor baseline air sample. As we compare the indoor and outdoor levels, we can determine if the indoor level is at an abnormal or dangerous level. If the area of concern is larger or if multiple levels in the home need to be tested, additional samples may be required.

*Additional samples are $45 each

What Air Quality Tests Reveal

  • If mold spores are present indoors
  • If the mold count level is detrimental to the indoor air quality
  • If invisible problems exist in relation to mold growth, water intrusion, or humidity levels

When To Schedule Air Quality Testing
