We take samples in the form of air, swabs, and tape lifts to be tested for mold. All lab tests are analyzed by an accredited testing laboratory (ProLab). Certified report results digitally provided within 24 hours, if inspected before 12:00 p.m.

 

When performing a mold inspection, we utilize three techniques:

 

• Air sampling: The primary purpose of the air sampling is to determine the type and amount of airborne contamination in a building/home.
  ​

Air sampling may be necessary if there is a presence of mold, allergens or toxins is suspected. (i.e. musty odors, allergies) but can not be identify by just visual inspection.

​When air sampling is performed, both the indoor air and outdoor air are sampled. So the results can be compared to see if a problem exists.

​

• Tape / Swab sampling: Tape / Swab samples are usually collected from visible moldy surfaces. This type of sampling is used to identify specific mold types.

 

Post-sampling recommendations and laboratory results

Once we have performed the mold inspections and air quality testing, an action plan can be put in place to clean up and prevent future contamination. Based on the evaluations and sampling lab analysis results, we will be able to provide a digitized report.
