What You Can Expect in Our Mold Testing Protocol:

Baseline Testing

We begin our collection process with a sample collection of the air outside of your home. This will help us to determine the degree to which the air outside your home may be impacting the IAQ. This is especially true when testing for VOC's and certain types of allergy triggers.

Surface & Air Collections

We then turn our attention to sampling your home or business's air and horizontal surfaces - where airborne particles are likely to land. In the case of visible mold, we will collect from those surfaces, and allergens, we will sample from a variety of hard and soft surfaces.

Reputable Lab Work

The samples will then be delivered to a certified and broadly capable laboratory, where the air sampling cassettes and surface swab or tape test samples will be analyzed in sterile conditions. Each air and surface test will be reported accurately and compared to baseline.

Clear Documentation

We will then either return or send the results of your test to you by email. We will provide you with the means of interpreting the results in view of your family or customers' health, and make recommendations as to the best course for correction and remediation.
