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.

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

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? +
Yes. Mold loves to hide in places you can’t see, including inside wall cavities, under carpets, and within your heating and cooling systems. 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 understand that real estate transactions operate on strict timelines. This is why we deliver laboratory results by the very next business day. 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. With backgrounds in Biology and Physiology, our team interprets the lab data to tell you exactly what is in your air compared to the natural outdoor environment.
Do you clean/remediate the mold if you find it? +
Ethics & Compliance No, we focus exclusively on inspection and testing. We believe it is a conflict of interest to test for a problem and then profit from fixing it. 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.
