Cultured Mold or Fecal Bacteria Analysis

Air Sample Testing

Our analysis captures airborne particulates to weigh indoor quality against outdoor air. This is the gold-standard approach for diagnosing mold that is present and active.

Spore Trap Analysis

Tape Lift & Swab

We use direct surface sampling to identify specific mold growth visible on floors, walls, or furniture. When mold is plainly visible, this is the best method to confirm the type and quantity present.

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? +
Absolutely. Mold loves to hide in places you can’t see, including inside wall cavities, under carpets, and within your heating and cooling systems. For those detecting strange smells or dealing with past water issues, our air quality tests can identify invisible threats early, preventing costly repairs and health risks later.
How long does it take to get the lab results back? +

We understand that real estate transactions operate on strict timelines. For this reason, we guarantee next-business-day turnaround for every sample we collect. We ensure you aren’t stuck waiting days to understand the property’s condition.

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 We do not; we are a dedicated testing-only firm. It is unethical to be both the judge and the jury; testing and remediation should always be separate. Our sole priority is delivering an impartial, scientific report so you can decide the next steps with confidence.
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.
