Cultured Samples

Tap to reveal

We take surface samples and culture them in the lab to see which mold species are thriving. Because of mold’s life cycles, this approach identifies fungi that might not show up on other tests. It is a multi-day lab procedure.

Viability Incubation (Multi-Day)

Air Sample Testing

Tap to reveal

We capture microscopic spores to evaluate your indoor environment relative to outside levels. This is the most reliable, gold-standard method for detecting active mold presence.

Spore Trap Analysis

Bacteria Analysis

Tap to reveal

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.

Sewage/Greywater Screening

Tape Lift & Swab

Tap to reveal

This method involves direct sampling of visible mold on furniture, walls, or flooring. If you can see mold on a surface, this is the ideal way to determine the specific type and amount.

Frequently Asked Questions

I don’t see any visible mold. Is an inspection still necessary? +
Yes. 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 notice a musty odor, have had recent water damage, or are purchasing a new home, air sampling can detect elevated spore counts that indicate a hidden infestation before it becomes a major structural or health issue.
How long does it take to get the lab results back? +

We understand that real estate transactions operate on strict timelines. That is why we provide next-business-day results for all mold samples. You won’t be left waiting 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? +
Not necessarily. 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. Our inspectors, who hold degrees in Biology and Physiology, analyze the specific types and levels of mold relative to the outdoor baseline to give you a complete picture of the home’s health.
Do you clean/remediate the mold if you find it? +
Ethics & Compliance No, we are strictly an inspection and testing company. We believe it is a conflict of interest to test for a problem and then profit from fixing it. Our only goal is to provide you with an unbiased, scientific assessment of the property so you can make an informed decision on how to proceed.
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.
