Mold & Indoor Air Quality Testing
Mold Testing
Mold isn't always visible, and it isn't always where you'd expect it. Hidden moisture behind walls, in crawl spaces, or in poorly ventilated areas can lead to mold growth long before it's noticeable to the eye. If you're addressing a musty smell, a past leak, or just want peace of mind before buying, I collect air and surface samples and send them to an independent, certified lab, so you know exactly what's present.
Indoor Air Quality Testing
Modern, tightly sealed homes can trap dust, allergens, and other airborne particulates that affect the air you breathe every day. I collect air samples and send them to the same certified lab for analysis, so you get objective, lab-backed results instead of a guess. This testing is especially valuable for families with children, pets, or anyone sensitive to allergies or respiratory issues, as well as buyers of newly built or recently renovated homes where new materials can affect air quality. You'll receive a clear report explaining what was found and what it means for your home.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The mold test checks air and surface samples for mold spores and growth that aren't visible to the eye, including in crawl spaces, behind walls, and in poorly ventilated areas. Samples are sent to a certified lab, so results are based on lab analysis rather than a visual guess.
-
I collect air and surface samples on site using sampling tape, swabs, or an air pump, depending on the area being tested. The samples are then sent to a certified lab for analysis, and you receive a report explaining what was found.
-
The indoor air quality test covers far more than a quick smell test. It measures airborne particulates, mold spores, dust, allergens, pest particles, soot from fires, and other irritants in your home's air. Samples are sent to a certified lab for independent, objective results, rather than a guess based on a walkthrough.
-
Modern, tightly sealed homes trap pollutants and allergens that a visual inspection or moisture check alone can't reveal. Since most people spend the majority of their time indoors, understanding what's in the air can matter for long-term comfort and health.
