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

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. 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 notice a musty odor, have had recent water damage, or are purchasing a new home, air sampling can detect elevated spore counts that indicate a hidden infestation before it becomes a major structural or health issue.
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. 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? +
No. While everyone worries about toxic Black Mold, other varieties like Cladosporium or Aspergillus are more common and can still be hazardous to your health. 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 are strictly an inspection and testing company. 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.
