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

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.

Surface Species Identification

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.

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. 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. That is why we provide next-business-day results for all mold samples. 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? +
Not necessarily. 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 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. We believe it is a conflict of interest to test for a problem and then profit from fixing it. 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.
