Cultured Mold or Fecal Bacteria Analysis

Air Sample Testing

Detect invisible spores and compare them to outdoor levels to assess true air quality. This testing is the gold standard for establishing the presence of active mold in an area.

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

We take surface samples and culture them in the lab to see which mold species are thriving. Because of mold’s life cycles, this approach identifies fungi that might not show up on other tests. It is a multi-day lab procedure.

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. Mold loves to hide in places you can’t see, including inside wall cavities, under carpets, and within your heating and cooling systems. 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 know that closing a home sale requires speed and efficiency. 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? +
No. 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.
