Our Testing Methods
Standard protocol: 2 indoor + 1 outdoor baseline. Additional samples: $75/ea
Cultured Mold or Fecal Bacteria Analysis
Air Sample Testing
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.
Tape Lift & Swab
Direct sampling allows us to identify specific visible mold on floors, furniture, or walls. Whenever mold is visible on a surface, this is the most effective method for determining the type and extent of growth.
Cultured Samples
Surface samples cultured by the lab to identify which mold species are present and thriving. Mold has life-cycles like anything else. This method involves taking surface samples and culturing them in the lab so we can look for mold that may not show up on other testing methods. This is a multi-day test at the lab.
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.
