Mold Inspection

A mold inspection is a thorough examination of a property to assess the presence of mold and identify any underlying issues that may contribute to mold growth. During the inspection, the inspector will visually inspect the property for signs of mold, such as visible mold growth, water damage, and moisture issues.

How Air Sampling Works

A sample is collected using a vacuum pump that captures 75 liters of air on a small, sticky microscope slide. All of the mold spores collected on the slide and any other samples taken, such as tape lifts, are sent to an accredited laboratory.

Step 1

Choose locations

On site, you’ll be collecting a control sample from outside.

This reading will be the basis for determining what comes from the home itself and what is already present in the ambient air.

​

Then you’ll sample at least 2 locations within the home, ideally where dampness or mold is suspected or at risk.

Step 4
Same-Day analysis

When we receive your air sample cassettes or surface sample tape/swabs, we remove the glass slide containing the air sample, and digitally scan it using whole slide image scanners that contain powerful microscope lenses.

This produces the digital images that we send to the AI.

Step 2
Collect The Samples

Set your air sampling pump in the desired location, press the Air-o-Cell or Posi-Track air sample cassette onto the pump, and press the sample button.

​

When completed, remove the cassette, replace the protective film, and move on to the next location.

Step 5
Report Generation

Once we have analyzed all of the samples in your job, our system compares the indoor samples with the outdoor sample, and generates a Mold Elevation Level indicator, (or a Mold Growth indicator for surface samples).

​

We then select several actual images from the sample and include them in the report, along with recommendations for the home owner.

Step 3
Ship Your Samples

Once you’re done sampling, place the air sampling cassettes into the FedEx Pak, complete and include a chain of custody form (available in the app or from here) and affix the prepaid return label that we included with your supplies.

​

Drop it off at the nearest FedEx dropbox and you’re all set! You can expect your report the day after we receive your samples.

Step 6
Email You The Report

Once we have analyzed all of the samples in your job, our system compares the indoor samples with the outdoor sample, and generates a Mold Elevation Level indicator, (or a Mold Growth indicator for surface samples).

​

We then select several actual images from the sample and include them in the report, along with recommendations for the home owner.

Techniques We Use To Find Mold

Mold inspection and mold testing are two terms that are often used interchangeably, but that isn’t quite right. A mold inspection refers to the visual examination of a property, involving an inspector going through your home and using various equipment to test the air and a variety of surfaces using tools to guide him.

 

Mold testing, on the other hand, happens after an inspection. Some inspectors send samples to a lab and others perform in-house stain tests, though the end results are similar. Mold tests present useful data regarding the type of mold in the home, the toxicity level, the number of spores present in the air and how quickly it’s reproducing

Reports

The way you present the results of your mold test is just as important as the technology that’s behind it.

Our reports are delivered in PDF format, with visual representations of the quantity of mold, individual counts of mold and air particulates, and even pictures of the actual objects that we’ve found.

Mold Testing

No inspection will be done only air samples or surface samples will be taken. We will take the samples in the location of your choice, agreed upon before the appointment. This is for people who don't want to pay for the inspection and simply just need lab results for any reason the client desires.
