Cultured Mold or Fecal Bacteria Analysis

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.

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

We utilize cultured surface samples to determine which mold species are actively living. Since mold has life cycles, culturing samples in the lab helps us find mold that doesn’t appear on standard tests. This process requires a multi-day turnaround 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? +
Definitely. 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 know that closing a home sale requires speed and efficiency. That is why we provide next-business-day results for all mold samples. We ensure you aren’t stuck waiting days to understand the property’s condition.

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 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 are strictly an inspection and testing company. We consider it a conflict of interest to diagnose a problem and then charge you to fix it. Our only goal is to provide you with an unbiased, scientific assessment of the property so you can make an informed decision on how to proceed.
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.
