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

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.

Surface Species Identification

Cultured Samples

This technique involves culturing surface samples in the lab to identify thriving mold species. Mold has complex life cycles, and this method reveals presence that other tests may overlook. This is a multi-day test due to the incubation period.

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. Fungal growth frequently occurs in concealed spaces like behind walls, beneath floorboards, or inside ventilation ducts. 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 recognize that time is of the essence in real estate deals. For this reason, we guarantee next-business-day turnaround for every sample we collect. You will never be left in limbo wondering about the safety 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. Although Stachybotrys (Black Mold) is famous, other common types like Aspergillus and Penicillium can trigger serious allergies and breathing problems if levels are high. Our biology-degreed inspectors compare indoor spore counts against outdoor baselines to provide a scientifically accurate assessment of your home’s safety.
Do you clean/remediate the mold if you find it? +
Ethics & Compliance No, we focus exclusively on inspection and testing. It is unethical to be both the judge and the jury; testing and remediation should always be separate. 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.
