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.
