Concerned About Mold in Your Home?

  • Feeling sick and don't know why?

  • Notice a musty or moldy smell?

  • See stains on walls or ceilings and wonder if it's mold?

  • Had a water leak, flood, or plumbing issue?

  • Worried mold may be hiding behind your walls?

​

   If you've answered "yes" to any of these questions, you're not alone.

Common questions we hear include:

  • Do I need mold testing?

  • Should I test for mold before mold removal?

  • What's the difference between air testing and surface testing?

  • Is a mold inspection the same as mold testing?

  • Can mold grow behind walls without being visible?

  • Can you smell mold even if you can't see it?​

 

   Our professional mold inspection and mold testing services help identify hidden mold and

   determine the extent of contamination. We provide fast, reliable laboratory results, typically

   within just a few days, so you can make informed decisions about your home and your health.

Two most common reasons to test for mold: (1) Moving into a home (2) Lingering Sickness

Moving into a Home? 

Don't Overlook Hidden Mold

A standard home inspection looks for visible signs of mold, but it doesn't always tell the whole story. Mold often grows in hidden areas such as enclosed storage areas, behind walls, under flooring, inside attics, within HVAC systems or behind furniture. In many cases, a visual inspection alone isn't enough to determine whether a home has a mold problem.​

​

If mold is present, it won't disappear on its own. Mold continues to grow as long as moisture is available and typically requires professional mold remediation to be safely removed.​

​

It's also important to remember that mold affects everyone differently. Some people experience allergies, respiratory issues, headaches, or other symptoms, while others may have little or no noticeable reaction. Just because the current occupants haven't experienced symptoms doesn't mean you won't.

​

Protect Your Investment with Mold Testing

If you're moving into a home, professional mold inspection and mold testing can provide valuable peace of mind before occupying the home. Identifying mold early can help you make informed decisions, negotiate repairs if needed, and avoid unexpected expenses after you move in.​

​

We can often schedule your mold inspection or testing within just a few days, helping you get the answers you need and keep your move-in date on track.

Lingering Sickness?

Mold Could Be a Possible Factor.

If you or your family members are experiencing unexplained health symptoms, indoor mold may be one possible cause worth investigating. Mold exposure can affect people differently and symptoms vary depending on an individual's sensitivity, the type of mold present, and the length of exposure.

​

Common symptoms associated with mold exposure may include:

  • Asthma symptoms or difficulty breathing

  • Sore throat

  • Sinus congestion or recurring sinus infections

  • Respiratory irritation

  • Coughing

  • Sneezing

  • Itchy, watery, or irritated eyes

  • Headaches

  • Muscle aches

  • Fibromyalgia-related symptoms

  • Neurological symptoms

 

Because mold sensitivity varies from person-to-person, it's not only possible but fairly common for only one or two people in a household to experience noticeable symptoms while others feel completely fine. A lack of symptoms does not necessarily mean mold is not present.

​

Wondering If Mold Is Affecting Your Home?

If you suspect mold, have ongoing unexplained symptoms, or simply want peace of mind, professional mold testing can help identify whether mold is present and provide valuable information about your indoor environment.

​

A mold inspection and testing process can help you better understand your home's air quality and determine the next steps if mold is discovered.

Lab-Verified Mold Testing Results

Accurate mold testing starts with reliable laboratory analysis. All samples are sent overnight to an independent, third-party laboratory for professional evaluation. The lab identifies the types of mold spores present and measures the amount of mold detected, helping you better understand your indoor environment.

​

Air Sampling

Air sampling is the most common type of mold test. A calibrated device collects a specific volume of air through a specialized filter. The laboratory then analyzes the sample to determine the types and concentrations of airborne mold spores present. Air testing can help identify dangerous types of mold and elevated mold spore levels to ultimately provide insight into your home's indoor air quality.

​

Surface Sampling

  • Tape: A tape sample uses a specialized piece of clear adhesive tape that is pressed directly onto suspected mold growth or contamination. The laboratory analyzes the sample under a microscope to identify the type of mold present. 

  • Swab: A swab sample uses a sterile cotton or synthetic swab that is rubbed across a suspected mold area to collect material for laboratory analysis. Swab sampling is useful for testing uneven surfaces, hard-to-reach areas, or locations where tape sampling is not practical.

  • Bulk: A bulk sample involves collecting a small piece of the affected material—such as drywall, insulation, carpet, or building materials and then sending it to the laboratory for analysis. 

 

Viability Testing

A viability test uses an air sample to determine whether collected mold spores are capable of growing. The laboratory attempts to culture the spores to evaluate whether they are viable and able to reproduce. This type of testing typically requires additional processing time compared to standard air or surface samples.

​

Fast, Reliable Mold Test Results

  • Air and surface sample results are typically available within 1–3 business days

  • Viability test results are typically available within 7 business days

 

With professional mold testing and laboratory-verified results, you can make informed decisions about mold concerns in your home or property.
