Our Testing Methods
A standard testing protocol with 3 samples costs $320. Each additional sample is $75.
One sample is $160. Two samples are $320…so might as well go for three at the same price.
Cultured mold and bacterial samples cost an additional $20 per sample.
We use industry-standard protocols to identify mold presence and spore counts:
- Air Sample Testing: Using air sampling to catch invisible spores allows us to benchmark indoor quality against the outdoors. This represents the gold standard for determining active fungal presence in a room.
- Tape Lift & Swab Testing: Our technicians perform direct surface sampling to analyze visible mold on walls, furniture, or floors. This is the preferred method for identifying the quantity and type of mold when it is clearly visible.
- Cultured Samples: Surface samples are cultured to pinpoint which mold species are present and biologically active. Mold has life cycles like any organism, and this method catches growth that other testing methods miss. This is a specialized multi-day test performed at the lab.
- Fecal Bacteria Analysis From Plumbing Leaks or Overflows: Mold isn’t the only problem caused by water. The lab analyzes samples to determine the presence of bacteria that are found in fecal matter. This is a multi-day test at the lab.

Mold Analysis Library
Our lab analysis screens for a wide spectrum of fungal structures during mold inspection in Twinsburg. Below are the primary pathogens we identify, followed by our comprehensive screening list.
Primary Threats & Common Findings
Stachybotrys High Toxicity
Often referred to as “Black Mold.” It thrives on wet cellulose (drywall/wood) and produces Satratoxin H.
- Flu-like symptoms, dermatitis
- Nosebleeds, burning lungs
- Intermittent hair loss
Asp / Pen Toxic / Allergen
The most common fungi in problem buildings. Grouped due to visual similarities.
- Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis
- Sinusitis, vomiting, diarrhea
Fusarium High Toxicity
Produces potent trichothecene toxins affecting the nervous and circulatory systems.
- Eye, skin, and nail infections
- Nausea and dermatitis
Alternaria Common Allergen
A very common allergen found in carpets and textiles. Large spores deposit in nose/mouth.
- Edema (swelling) and bronchospasms
- Bakers’ asthma
Cladosporium Common Allergen
The most common outdoor fungus. Often found on HVAC supply ducts.
- Skin lesions and eye ulceration
- Nail infection (Onychomycosis)
Chaetomium Water Indicator
Found on wet sheetrock/paper. A marker of significant water damage.
- Associated with peritonitis
- Cutaneous (skin) lesions
Memnoniella Toxic Potential
Closely related to “Black Mold” (Stachybotrys). Thrives on wet cellulose.
- Similar IAQ risks to Stachybotrys
- Respiratory irritation
Aureobasidium Irritant
A yeast-like fungus found in humidifiers or air conditioners.
- “Humidifier lung”
- Dyspnea, cough, fever
Comprehensive Screening Panel
Ascospore
Common outdoor spore. Reported to be allergenic.
Basidiospore
Spores from mushrooms/p\uffballs. Many varieties are reported to be allergenic.
Bipolaris sp.
Associated with asthma and “wine grower’s lung.” Can cause leaf rot on plants.
Botrytis sp.
Can produce mycotoxins (sterigmatocystin) which may cause liver and kidney damage.
Cercospora
Common outdoor agricultural fungus. Parasitic to plants (leaf spot).
Curvularia sp.
Reported to be allergenic. Associated with allergic fungal sinusitis and corneal infections.
Drechslera sp.
Found on grasses/grains. Occasionally causes corneal infection of the eye.
Epicoccum sp.
A common allergen found in plants, soil, grains, and textiles.
Myxomycetes Slime
“Slime Molds.” Generally outdoor fungi (forests). Can cause hay fever and asthma.
Nigrospora sp.
Common in warm climates. Responsible for allergic reactions like hay fever and asthma.
Oidium sp.
Plant pathogen (powdery mildew). Human health effects are not well studied.
Periconia sp.
Rarely found indoors. Associated with rare cases of mycotic keratitis (eye infection).
Pithomyces sp.
Known to cause facial eczema in ruminants (animals). Not currently known as a human pathogen.
Rusts & Smuts
Plant disease fungi. Can cause hay fever and asthma in humans.
Spegazzinia
A very small proportion of fungal biota. No specific toxicity or health effects currently reported.
Sporotrichum
Rarely found. Some cases suggest bronchopulmonary colonization.
Stemphylium sp.
Isolated from dead plants/cellulose. Reported to be allergenic.
Tetraploa
Rare. Associated with very few cases of keratitis and subcutaneous infection.
Torula sp.
Found on cellulose materials. Reported to be allergenic; can cause hay fever/asthma.
Ulocladium sp.
Found on textiles. Associated with similar allergic reactions to other water-damage molds.
Zygomycetes
Fast-growing (e.g., Rhizopus). Common allergens; can be pathogenic to immune-compromised individuals.
