Cultured Mold or Fecal Bacteria Analysis

Air Sample Testing

This test determines indoor air quality by comparing captured invisible spores to outdoor norms. It is the definitive, gold-standard way to confirm if mold is actively reproducing.

Spore Trap Analysis

Tape Lift & Swab

Direct surface sampling to identify specific visible mold on walls, floors, or furniture. If mold is visible on a surface, this is the ideal method to determine the type of mold and quantity.

Surface Species Identification

Cultured Samples

To identify thriving mold species, we culture surface samples at the lab. Mold has life cycles, and this specific method allows us to find mold that might be missed by other testing types. Be aware that this is a multi-day test.

Viability Incubation (Multi-Day)

Bacteria Analysis

Mold isn’t the only problem caused by water. For plumbing leaks or overflows, the lab analyzes samples to determine the presence of bacteria that are found in fecal matter. This is a specialized multi-day procedure to ensure environment safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

I don’t see any visible mold. Is an inspection still necessary? +
Definitely. Mold often grows in areas that are not visible to the naked eye, such as behind drywall, under flooring, or in HVAC systems. If you smell dampness, have experienced leaks, or are buying a property, professional air testing can reveal high spore levels, catching the problem before it damages your health or home.
How long does it take to get the lab results back? +

We know that closing a home sale requires speed and efficiency. That is why we provide next-business-day results for all mold samples. You won’t be left waiting for a week to know the condition of the home.

Disclaimer: Next Business Day results are subject to FedEx shipping schedules. Inspections performed late in the day may miss the FedEx pickup cutoff, delaying results by one day.

Is ‘Black Mold’ (Stachybotrys) the only dangerous type? +
That is a common misconception. While “Black Mold” (Stachybotrys chartarum) is well-known, many other common molds—such as Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Cladosporium—can cause significant allergic reactions and respiratory issues at high concentrations. With backgrounds in Biology and Physiology, our team interprets the lab data to tell you exactly what is in your air compared to the natural outdoor environment.
Do you clean/remediate the mold if you find it? +
Ethics & Compliance No, we are strictly an inspection and testing company. We consider it a conflict of interest to diagnose a problem and then charge you to fix it. We aim to give you an honest, unbiased look at your property’s condition without any financial incentive to find problems.
What is your ‘No Mold, No Pay’ Guarantee? +
If we conduct a protocol with at least two indoor samples and an outdoor baseline (or three indoor samples)—and the lab results come back clean with no mold detected in the indoor samples, we will refund your entire mold inspection fee. You shouldn’t have to pay to find out your home is healthy.
