Mold Testing

Why Mold Testing is Important

Health Concerns

• Mold spores can trigger allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues.
• Some molds, like Stachybotrys (black mold), may produce toxins that can affect long-term health.

Hidden Growth Detection

• Mold often grows behind walls, ceilings, flooring, or HVAC systems, making it hard to detect.
• Testing helps identify hidden contamination before it spreads.

Moisture & Source Identification

• Mold growth is a sign of excess moisture (e.g., leaks, condensation, or high humidity).
• Testing helps locate the source of moisture, preventing future growth.

Peace of Mind

• Even if no mold is found, testing provides reassurance that the environment is safe for inhabitants.

What to Expect During Mold Testing

Initial Inspection

• A certified technician will assess visible signs of water damage, musty odors, or mold growth.

Air Sampling

• Indoor air samples are collected with specialized cassettes/pumps.
• A control sample is taken outdoors for comparison to ensure accurate results.
