What is Mold Testing?
Mold testing is a specialized environmental assessment that identifies the presence, type, and concentration of mold in indoor environments. Using professional sampling techniques and laboratory analysis, we detect both visible and hidden mold growth that can impact your health and property value.

Frequently asked questions
When should I test for mold?
Consider testing if you notice visible growth or musty odors, after leaks or flooding, when occupants have unexplained allergy-like symptoms, or before buying a home with a history of moisture problems.
Why do you take an outdoor air sample?
The outdoor sample is a baseline. Comparing indoor and outdoor spore types and concentrations shows whether mold is actually growing inside the home.
Who analyzes the samples?
Samples are analyzed by a professional laboratory for species identification and concentration levels, and we explain the results and next steps in plain language.
