How to Test for Mold

Mold is a natural part of the outdoor world and it is extremely important to our environment as a decomposer of organic materials. Everyday we breathe in mold spores as well as other particles such as fibers, pollution, and pollen when we are outside playing with our children or indoors watching television. However, mold should not be growing inside of our home or office. When it is found growing indoors it could be a sign of past or present humidity/water issues that may need to be addressed.

Do I need a test kit, or can I just send you a sample?

Answer- that’s up to you.

You are welcome to buy a kit to collect samples, but if you are needing faster results, you can use the Quick Test method by sending us a piece of tape or a swab with a sample in a Ziploc bag (click here for the submittal form, it has the directions, price and mailing address)

If you decide you want to go the Buy a Kit route, below are the kits we offer, as well as two videos to watch for step by step walkthroughs
